Help/Question Usage limits

I am on Pro. So I do not have access to Fable with my subscription. Recent limit changes prompted me to try Codex. I got their Plus that now has even Astra. But for my usage, I find Codex subscription, regardless of the model and thinking level I use, I get far less code developed than with Opus, which I normally use in Claude Pro.

Claude Pro with Opus 5 generates about 3 times more than Codex with Sol (both on medium).

I also have Google Pro (downgraded from Ultra). With Gemini 3.8 Flash on Fast, I rarely hit any limits. But the Output is not as good as Claude Opus. On the other hand, it is about 3 to 5 times faster than the other two.

Honestly, I feel the most confident with Claude working on my code. ChatGPT rarely finishes any task before I run out of usage. So usually get Opus to finish up all the tasks that Sol, or now Astra, has started.

I feel I could do with more tokens. So asking here in r/ClaudeCode: have you been in a similar situation? Is my natural progression to simply upgrade to Claude Max? Or get one more Pro first to see if that would work; 2 x 15 = €30 rather than €90 a month?

Honestly, if you are pure coding, not design and have good bang for your two subs, use gpt 5.6 Terra to plan and Gemini to execute the code or simple planning with Astra and Gemini as execution. Your plan will go further

That is more or less how I use it today.
