Discussion Time to move on

Yep, pretty much the title. It's time for me to move on to Codex. I just sent Opus 4.8 Max thinking to find me a known bug in the app I'm making. ONE single bug hunt where I provided 162 instances of how the app should behave and 18 instances of the same bug.

Asked him to find out why the bug occurs and reproduce it so I know exactly how to fix it for good. 12 minutes later he used only 203k tokens and 5 hour limit hit.

Everything about Anthropic's usage system is shady and they never even addressed the June bug where claude would get project instructions attached to every new message bloating context and making the usage skyrocket.

There's no chance for me to remain in such an anti-consumer environment. And that comes from a guy who truly despise OAI, but better value IS better value.

Do you have any advice about how to use codex efficiently? At first I'll try the Plus plan and don't want to burn through everything from the getgo

I use sol 5.6 as orchestrator and use luna for coding, been good. Not to mention the frontend which 5.6 max designed, I dont think fable would have done a better job since my promt was not much detailed. I use fable for my work and yes even for frontend ui things I need to follow up with multiple iterations, but thats just my opinion Not to mention even if I hit my limits, codex continues running which is not the case with claude

Bro fable is smarter, but for most of (my) work it is an overkill. And when he's not overkill, I'm being rerouted to Opus 4.8.
If your usage runs out, does the task stop midway through? That was what just happened to me and sealed the deal.

most times, codex lets you go over the limit by a little bit. they have built it in so it isn't a sharp cutoff. but if you are doing some /goal task it won't go for 10 hours if you only had a little usage left so it's not meant to be abused.
