  "transcript": "If you’re on Plus, I really wouldn’t use ASTRA for the whole coding task. It can burn through the 5 hour limit insanely fast, sometimes in just 1 prompt and 10 minutes.  \nWhat I’ve been doing instead:  \nUse **ASTRA first for planning** and figuring out the architecture.  \nThen let **Sol break the task into smaller parallel chunks**.  \nUse **Gemini 3.8 as the workers** to actually implement those chunks. (Way better and faster than luna max agents)   \nOnce everything is done, have **Sol review the implementation** and catch issues.  \nThen if you some more 5hour limit left, use **ASTRA one more time for the final review**.  \nBasically I’m treating ASTRA like the senior engineer, not the person writing every line of code.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[25 upvotes] That’s basically what Sol told me when asking how to use Astra on Plus. The only difference is that it recommended Luna instead of Gemini for small chunk implementation.\n\n[10 upvotes] “How i’m using ASTRA without burning through my limit”\n\nAnd the answer is “by using it less”.\n\nI mean, you’re technically right. But this is not some genius idea that by using a product less it will cost you less.\n\n[8 upvotes] Can you open up your work flow a bit. How do you use 3.8 Flash with sol? ",
