What issue are you seeing?

Token burn is insane with Astra. What used to get me through a week on Sol xHigh, i can't get through 1.5 days on Astra Medium and that includes sharding delegated agents to Sol and only using Astra Medium as the orchestrator and lead. Im trying to be conservative on it's use, but this is insane. I'm on 20x and I should be able to use Astra Medium. I've used 4 Resets since it's dropped. If you want people using Astra, then make it actually affordable to use. It's not usable like this.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Just use it and your tokens drain like no other. It's definitely not proportionate to what is advertised for cost.

What is the expected behavior?

Astra Medium I feel like should cost a little more than Sol Extra High. That would make sense. but to charge people until astra gets figured out and weekly resets don't do very much at the rate it burns. I should be able to get through at least 2 days of using Astra Medium only and not have to delegate to other lower models for a week's worth of tokens.
