Dev: Opus 5.5 doubled game FPS in 5 hours after a wasted week on Astra

Cheedows · reddit · 2026-09-28

A Godot game developer spent a week and 100% of their 20x-plan weekly quota on Astra medium without progress, nearly switching engines. Switching to Claude 5x Pro, Opus 5.5 (medium) lifted FPS from 20 to 40 (+40%) in 5 hours while using just 2% of the weekly quota. The author says it's not even a competition, threatens to cancel unless DevDay delivers, and claims r/codex removed the post. A vivid user-side contrast between Astra's quota burn and Opus 5.5's efficiency.
