"I pay $100/month and it can't do basic tasks": Pro-tier coding model frustrates user
Girronki · reddit · 2026-10-22
A Reddit user says their $100/month Pro coding subscription performs worse than the cheaper plan: big tasks fail entirely, small tasks get over-engineered. Handoff rule documents, maxed-out custom instructions and multi-step workflows all fail—the same low-quality patch gets passed between steps. They observe Pro works 50 minutes vs 20 but with worse output; only "sol max" and "astra high" models do real work, with astra far better but token-hungry, while sol spawns useless subagents.
