One '1+1' question ate 16% of a GPT Plus 5-hour window on Astra High
okdesign · reddit · 2026-10-09
A Reddit user flags an aggressive usage mechanic in GPT Plus: he kicks off his 5-hour window each morning with a trivial math question so it resets earlier. Today the chat was accidentally on Astra High — "What is 1+1" was answered in 5 seconds but consumed 16% of the entire 5-hour window. High-usage modes appear to bill even the simplest prompts at a heavy rate.
