Devs testing `Ultra` mode on GPT-6 Astra and 6.1 Sol are seeing a massive drop in weekly quota drain with one catch - Running Astra Ultra & 6.1 Sol Ultra used to burn 100% in a day, and now leaves 67%–90% remaining after 1–2 days - The catch: several devs say the 111–206 tok/s speed boost is making Astra Light rush and make way more mistakes (requiring 2–3 retries unless you force High/Max) Did your Codex quota drain finally slow down today, or is it making more mistakes at higher speeds??
