Plus users say Astra usage drains unusually fast, with two prompts eating into the five-hour limit, a problem that seemed fixed last week.

A user notes that after GPT-6 launched in ChatGPT, the model is labeled only as "GPT-6 Thinking", making it impossible to tell whether Sol or Astra is running underneath.

The post claims ChatGPT-6 Astra has a Content Creator Mode and lists seven prompts for producing content at scale like a professional creator.

The poster jokes that restaurants could use Astra, at $20 a month, to generate realistic images, but instead use some poor free model for their menu photos.
