Astra / Sol post-upgrade retest · ChatGPT Pro 200

Quota verified on: 2026-10-30

Model / successful calls	Measured tokens	Weekly capacity (conditional)
gpt-6-astra96/96 successful	8,922,563	111.6M–186.0M tokens/week; point estimate 139.5M
gpt-6.1-sol94/96 successful	8,729,647	≥ 274M tokens/week (conditional lower bound)

The upgrade is user-reported and has not been independently verified.

Applies only to ChatGPT Pro 200, not Pro 100/500.

Only the weekly window is available; no extrapolation to 5-hour or monthly windows.

The two models share one allowance pool; capacities cannot be added.

The historical and current Astra intervals overlap; interpret results with their workload mix.

The Sol lower bound assumes settled linear metering, nonnegative extra consumption and no refunds, resets or allowance changes; the main batch included controller activity.
