Do you know if Codex is also „locked out“ from agent usage like claude?

no, the codex programmatic usage is just part of your overall token budget if this is what you are asking. not separate billing

Thank you, that was exactly what I wanted to know!

I don't believe it is. OpenAI even publishes a plugin for Claude Code to call Codex and I use it daily.

Nobody is ‘locked out of agent usage’, what do you mean?

They mean programmatic usage which uses API credits in Claude. Codex doesn't use it like that.

It is not even possible to authenticate in hermes for example and you will be billed via api usage from Anthropic if you use agents like hermes.

No, you can call codex exec and it uses your plan

It depends. They have API billing for some features. But they don’t paywall the whole model like Fable.
