🚨 Reddit users say Astra xHigh lasts much longer than Medium

One Pro 20x user ran xHigh for an hour and used only 2% of their weekly usage, while Medium drained it much faster, and others said they saw the same thing. After checking the logs, they found Medium made 122 responses vs 65 on xHigh and burned usage about twice as fast.
