What issue are you seeing?
Rapid usage reductions with Astra babysitting long-running work. It just needs to wake up every few minutes and see if it's still working, spending very few tokens at once. Maybe the wait tool got broken somehow? Or Astra wants to stay awake more than Sol did?
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Ask Astra to babysit long-running work
What is the expected behavior?
Astra doesn't blow 1% per minute
