[ChatGPT Plus][Work] Five-hour allowance drains unusually fast with GPT-6 Astra Max and GPT-6.1 Sol #50761

Description

@gus6443-beep

What issue are you seeing?

I am a ChatGPT Plus subscriber using ChatGPT Work. My five-hour allowance has recently been draining much faster than in my previous experience.

These are separate observations of the remaining five-hour allowance:

  1. GPT-6 Astra, Max: a task involving two images reduced my remaining allowance from 100% to 16% (84 percentage points consumed).
  2. GPT-6 Astra, Max: one question reduced my remaining allowance from 100% to 80% (20 percentage points consumed).
  3. GPT-6.1 Sol, High/Max: after only five questions, my remaining allowance was down to 67%.

Please investigate whether the usage accounting or subscription allowance settings have changed, or whether there is an accounting error. The consumption is substantially higher than I previously experienced.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

On a ChatGPT Plus account, note the remaining five-hour allowance in ChatGPT Work before and after a task. Compare the meter for GPT-6 Astra at Max reasoning and GPT-6.1 Sol at High/Max reasoning. The observations above came from my usage; I am requesting an investigation rather than claiming a confirmed root cause or a guaranteed reproduction.

What is the expected behavior?

The five-hour usage meter should reflect actual usage correctly. Please review the unusually rapid depletion and explain whether it results from a policy/accounting change or an error.
