}What issue are you seeing?
Issue 1: Provided Astra with instructions; fell asleep: astra never stopped all night to even issue a status report. Spawned hundreds of agents and burned through usage.
Outcome behavior: I used my remaining banked reset.
Issue 2: Astra then stated (incorrectly, while working on OpenGL 2.1 on a 2007 laptop): "ⓘ This content can't be shown
We take extra caution with cybersecurity requests. If you’re a security professional, you may be able to apply for Trusted Access.
Trusted Access: https://chatgpt.com/cyber/
Learn more: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001326""
Issue 2 Behavior: The thread refused to resume, but it was super close to finishing and solving its open issue regarding a tiling bug.
Issue 3: To resolve that issue; I switched to daybreak-blue-latest. As one does, I walked away for about 1-2 hours to grab coffee, talk to people, go about my day and returned to my session. Expected behavior: the bug would be resolved and the session would have ended.
MAJOR ISSUE and resulting behavior: My entire weekly reset was burned in that time period, and the issue was not solved.
HUMAN COMPONENT ISSUE: I recently had a surgical procedure so I am operating under sub-par "lowest common denominator" conditions rather than operating in any sort of peak condition. Sloppy prompts are a possibility and I would like to acknowledge the disabled human component in this.
So to sum this up: Long Running Astra codex CLI convo + manual reset + switching to daybreak blue for astra-flagged security review = weekly usage depleted in less than 2 hours.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 01a07e19-889a-7d61-b568-d2c2448617d6
What is the expected behavior?
The expected behavior is a hard blocker that occurs when an incompatible model swap with known usage degradation issues occurs, and instead to branch the thread with compacted context; or something else that will not deplete a week of usage ASAP/stat.
Otherwise, expected behavior is for conversations to run long and not deplete usage like this at all and to have some sort of mechanism to swap models without massive breakage.
Additional information
Another banked reset or general reset would be nice, as I am sure I am not the only one. Others on X seem to have complaints about weekly usage depleting but are not quantifying nor documenting why.
This is an attempt to establish baseline, lowest-common denominator researcher/user in a compromised medical state who may have had human error, combined with system/client issues, result in a shocking usage bug occurring.
I understand this is an edge case, and guards/warnings could be put around this for people in the future.
Alas, part of exploring is making mistakes and getting stuck in quicksand: so now just asking for some help getting out of it! :)
