The quota-burn spread

What's this about?

The Astra launch thread doubles as a usage census: one commenter burns a full 20× subscription per day on Sol at medium effort; another runs Extra High around the clock and stretches it four days; a third runs 50 subagents decompiling a game across three machines.

What exactly is a 20× account?

The top subscription tier — twenty times the base allowance. That individual users exhaust it *daily* shows agentic workloads have no natural ceiling: more quota means more parallel agents, not longer chats.

Why is this worth noting?

The spread — hundreds-fold between light and heavy users on identical plans — is why quota design (see the 100%-on-Astra story) is becoming real competition, and why flat-rate pricing for agentic AI keeps getting restructured.
