Codex 28-day update recap: Astra Ultra and quota complaints
A user reviews a month of Codex updates, noting GPT 6 Pro became Astra Ultra with more inference, 500k context burns quotas faster, and Plus users can't use resets.
Tibos 28 days of doom and cope: Goal: -"clear improvement and relevant for most codex/work [...] or reset" -"Not fixes." What we got: Features that benefitted everyone: -Intelligent UI (yeah it's good😒) -20 to 30 tps for 6.1 sol (still comically slow) -instant steering (wow, really needed that one) -500k context window (changing a number is now an update, burns your limits about 2x faster even though they deleted long-context fee on subs -> I recommend setting it back to 300k) Features where only pro benefitted: -GPT 6 Pro is now Astra Ultra (sub agents + high reasoning) instead of Max (solo, long, breaks). Giving Pro basically 2-3x more Astra Pro inference in Chat. -6.1 Ultrafast (higher per user output but lower inference efficiency, wasting compute) -Meetings for pro (whatever) -Composer predictions (why is this even an announcement?) -ceate/message dots from mobile -dots can delegate Codex work -5 resets on day 2,3,6,8,10 WHICH plus user can't utilize because of the 5 hour limit. but PRO users can just run trough it taking up all compute for themself -Dots can now make calls Bug fixes: -Desktop app disk usage cut ~60% (was all of day 9 btw, "no fixes") -reduction in model-capacity errors + automatic recovery (who would have thought that when you give away a reset every 2 days and don't hinder pro users from burning compute ur reliability is fucked, also all of day 11 day)
