GPT-6 Astra burns a full daily quota on one black hole shot
The author fed Astra a rough Blender draft and a cinematic reference, repeatedly pushing for a hotter accretion disk and stronger lensing, and used up the day's quota on an 8-second shot.
GPT-6 Astra burned my entire daily limit on one black hole. I gave it a rough Blender version, a cinematic reference, and kept pushing: hotter accretion disk, stronger lensing, warped stars, actual motion - not just a glowing ring spinning in space. Then it started burning through attempts like the black hole was eating the context window too. The stupid part is this wasn’t even some giant coding project. I just wanted an 8-second shot that looked expensive. Astra somehow turned “make this black hole look insane” into the most computationally irresponsible thing I’ve done all week.
