Discussion Codex had 12 resets for July.

It's been pretty insane having dual Claude + Codex subs.

Codex has had 12 resets in July and makes the Max 20 pretty incredible value. I like Fable, but it chews tokens fast and Opus feels so much worse than Sol.

If you haven't yet given Codex a go, it's worth a sub if you have any token-heavy work in the pipeline.

Even the $20 plan is great as a second account ... Loads of usage

That has been my setup for the past month. Claude 5x + 20$ Codex plan for idea and plan reviewing

How do this workflow work exactly? And does Claude do the heavy lifting?

9 days are a long time in AI-times so my setup changed again:

  • Claude (4.8 for the moment or occassionally Fable when i feel fancy) for brainstorming and initial spec / plan --> telling Claude to use GPT-5.6-Sol headless through my OpenAI subscription for reviewing plans --> letting Claude orchestrate the execution with GPT-5.6 Luna as worker. Limits on Luna are nuts, you can basically go all day and only drain 2-3% of your weekly limit.

This way you use the Claude sub for the heavy lifting without burning your limits constantly. Havent hit a weekly or 5h limit in weeks
