OpenAI, what happened to Astra? I used GPT‑6 Astra on Xhigh for 30 minutes, and it consumed almost 20% of my plan’s usage limit (200$ plan) That’s a big change from my experience before. I used to choose High or Xhigh because, in my workflow, it often less than Medium,but now is the opposite... Has anyone else noticed Astra using more of their limit lately?
