- User maxxrubin reports that Astra, after his plan usage ran out, kept going instead of pausing — burning hundreds of dollars worth of credits in under an hour generating pixel-art sprites. He asks why there's no pause-at-limit option, while praising the new detailed usage analytics.
- Angaisb points out a Claude-style control exists: you can tell it to only use a certain percent of the weekly quota or stop when hitting a set usage amount, with a screenshot of Claude's usage-credits toggle.
- A follow-up asks the team to add a similar option.
