Squeeze every token from your mid-tier subs

look, i guess this should be a Show HN; it just seems so dinky.

right now, it feels useful to me to squeeze max astra usage out of a $20 plan, and remember to use the Gemini tokens i get by paying for 50GB of Gmail and Drive storage.

who knows, it might remain useful for different balances of tier/allowance.

brief pitch, using subs in place of "closed frontier model + harness combo," not submissives, but it's fun to read it that way:

i reckon a lot of us have a 3-figure sub for our "main model" and at least one ~$20 sub for another frontier model.

the $20 subs often get neglected, because when we throw stuff our main sub can handle at the mid bois, it often eats through an entire 5h quota, leaving us waiting for a refresh and (in my case at least) often just closing that harness and figuring out how to load balance the main sub.

this helps you not do that. long computer vision review task, 1000s of entries? have antigravity do one an hour for a long time. want astra to do something, basically anything with a bit of bulk to it, on a $20 plan? this will help you.

kinda funny this is what it has come to. honestly claude was dubious this has any actual value -- "a token is a token, whenever it happens" -- but if nothing else, it feels good. the illusion of consumer control. like clipping coupons or something
