scamthropic strikes again.
so, anthropic has 3 plans.
pro at $20, max 5x at $100, and max 20x at $200.
the $200 plan says "20x pro limits." sounds like you're getting 20x weekly usage right?
no. the 20x applies only to the 5hr usage window. the weekly limit is basically just 2x the $100 plan, which means you only get 10x weekly usage of pro than the advertised 20x.

remember when tibo said "regaining my youth one button press at a time"
we thought it was a joke.
it wasn't.
he pressed the button again today. sixth time this month.
and then he changed his profile picture back to the old one. the younger one. the one from before the codex grind aged him.
the button is actually working.
science cannot explain this. anthropic cannot explain this. openai will not explain this.
all we know is, every time tibo presses the rest button, something happens to him.
something reverses.
the youth is returning.
press the button. get younger. give us tokens. repeat.
this is the cycle. this is the ritual. this is tibo.

tibo just reset usage limits again.
that's 6 resets in august alone.
also they have made optimizations that makes the usage last 10% and 50% further than before.
We are reseting usage for all paid users of Codex and ChatGPT Work.
Please continue reading for an update on Codex usage limits. The team has been working around the clock, going through thousands of reports and shipping fixes.
Depending on how you use Codex, you should see your usage go between 10% and 50% further than before.
We really went with a fine comb, with many uncovered small things being longstanding and here is what we found and fixed:
- Compaction. We were keeping old images during compaction, sometimes making the context large enough to trigger compaction again. After the fix, usage dropped around 10% for users making heavy use of images. Fixed.
- Memory. Background memory workers could inherit Stop hooks and keep running when the hook wouldn’t let them finish. This affected fewer than 1% of users, with the long tail being pretty bad and we saw one example thread check whether it could stop 15,000 times. Fixed.
- Goals. In some cases, a set /goal could finish and then keep going past the intended stop condition, or the model would keep retrying broken tools without stopping. We saw examples consume anywhere from 15% to 70% of a weekly allowance. Fixed.
- Automations. Some custom schedules could run more frequently than configured. Fixed.
- Subagents. Smaller models (e.g. Luna) sometimes picked more capable helpers without being explicitly asked. The same was true where the orchestrating model not running in /fast mode could request sub-agents to run /fast. Fixed.
- Computer History. The older implementation could lead to repeatedly summarizing overlapping activity. For some cases we saw it consume up to one fifth of the weekly usage per week. Fixed.
- Rolling task summaries. Ordinary turns were triggering extra background requests. These added about 1% to token usage. Small each time, but it adds up. We have disabled this.
- MCP. Some tool results could be encoded twice. We also found tool instructions getting cut off and fetched again. Fixed.
We’ve also made architectural changes to prevent these from regressing and our teams will get paged if it happens regardless. We are also working on showing you directly in the app where your usage goes so you don’t have to guess.
Goes without saying that we’re resetting usage limits and I hope you enjoy a very nice Saturday!

astra's slug is "ultima-alpha"
it's being tested with select partners and wider rollout is expected next week.
september 3rd is the launch target.
and a new gpt-image 2 update could drop at the same time too.
🚨 SCOOP: Astra recently graduated from the dogfood stage, and is now being made available to select OpenAI partners under the name "ultima-alpha"
If feedback over this weekend is positive, the plan is to expand the early access program throughout next week before the wider launch, targeting next Thurs (the 3rd) to the end of the following week
Work also continues on an update to GPT-Image 2, with their launch windows being very similar (possibly even launching simultaneously)
Starting September 14, we're permanently raising standard weekly limits in Claude Code by 25% for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans. Until then, the current 50% increase will be in place.
i have been trying to find astra for months.
i asked the voices. they said nothing.
i asked kevin. kevin has gone dark.
i checked every github commit. every cryptic employee post. every vague reply. every profile picture change.
i found nothing.
and then it hit me.
astra doesn't want to be found. astra finds you.
prepare yourself.
