ChatGPT Astra coding agent burns through usage limits on a single GitHub issue
Calebhk98 · reddit · 2026-10-21
Reddit user Calebhk98 complains about ChatGPT's Astra coding agent: assigning it a single issue exhausted the usage allowance, and after waiting 5 hours for a reset it worked briefly before hitting the "You're out of Work usage" wall again.
The author quips that Gemini's Argon mode, limited to 3 messages per 5 hours, "at least you get a message lol." Screenshots show Astra working 59 seconds and 13 minutes before being cut off. The takeaway: coding-agent subscription quotas are far tighter than expected on real tasks.
