OpenAI has issued a one-time quota reset for all paid subscribers of GPT-6 Astra after widespread complaints about rapid token consumption. Product lead Tibo Sottiaux said the reset aims to let users who exhausted their allotment keep running Astra. Reports from Plus users indicate an hour of usage can deplete a week's quota, and single tasks frequently hit the 5-hour limit. The move follows a prior reduction of heavy usage consumption to roughly one-third to one-quarter of original levels.

OpenAI has rolled out a one-time quota reset for all paid subscribers to its GPT-6 Astra model, a move confirmed by the company on September 8. Tibo Sottiaux, the core product lead, explained that the reset was intended to allow users who had already exhausted their monthly allowance to continue running Astra.

The reset comes after a wave of complaints from the community since Astra's launch, with users reporting that the model burned through quotas at an alarming rate. One Plus subscriber said that roughly 30 minutes of Astra usage could consume an entire week's quota, while another user reported that a single task triggered the 5-hour usage cap. Just a day earlier, Sottiaux had already reduced the quota consumption for heavy-use scenarios to about one-third to one-quarter of previous levels, only to follow up with another global reset.
