By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users are reporting that Astra's quota accounting may be inaccurate, potentially consuming significantly more credits than expected. While Astra is priced at 2.5 times the rate of Sol, users are observing an additional multiplier, leading to an effective consumption of 4 to 5 times that of Sol. This discrepancy has been noted across multiple Chinese-language communities and through various comparison methods, suggesting a potential issue with how Astra's usage is being calculated against subscription allowances.
