User finds a long-running Amp orb quietly burning his Codex usage
bytebot · x · 2026-09-27
An Amp user traced an unexpected Codex usage spike to a long-running Amp orb background task. He says he now prefers GPT-6 Sol medium over Astra, but Amp's medium mode tends to juice Astra's usage. While Amp offers a mode dial to tune model aggressiveness, he'd rather the Amp team handle default tuning when new models like GPT-6 Sol/Luna and Opus 5.5 land. He also notes Amp's earlier bet on 5.6 Terra no longer seems a priority for OpenAI.
