I strongly agree. Check out the Codex subreddit. Many empirical examples of Astra silently downgrading the models. One found Astra was silently using Luna Max (but still billing for Astra).

Even when I try to stick with Sol X/High, my limits are at best half of what they were before Astra launched, and the intelligence has declined markedly.

I cancelled my $100 plan. This is absolutely absurd and frankly unusable now.

It feels bizarre reading about the amounts spent on it here and paying like 10 eurobucks a week for DS

My spending with Deepseek was more than a Codex subscription, though. How are you keeping it to $10/month? Super light usage?

For me, DS Pro is still behind Sol. But I do think many people hitting the Codex limits in 1 or 2 days are doing something wrong.

		Entirely depends on the work asked and the repo involved. When I’m doing work on a repo where I’m implementing a standard and the agents have to read the standard to keep from hallucinating my usage skyrockets. Hell this changes depending on which language I’m working with.

These tools were pretty great if you could afford them, but now they are expensive and shit, and that combination doesn't work.
