the headline chart was lazy on our part, thanks for the flag and I’ll update it.

each individual benchmark that is combined into agentic coding index was compared on xhigh between ua / codex / pi, and headline improvement was calculated on xhigh, but then agentic coding index pareto chart by default includex codex max, hense the confusion.

To reduce the codex polling I slapped this into my ~/.codex/config.toml:

  [features.multi_agent_v2]
  enabled = true
  wait_agent_enabled = true
  min_wait_timeout_ms = 10000 # 10s
  default_wait_timeout_ms = 300000 # 5m
  max_wait_timeout_ms = 3600000 # 1h

Seems to do the job and reduce usage; I just ran Astra for ~5 hours (using a goal) and it used the last 30% of my usage. And now they released GPT-6 Sol and Luna (which is basically 5.6 Sol and Luna, but a bit better and also 50% cheaper) ;_;
