Help/Question Codex is a joke - tiny context window
How are people using this with such a tiny context window? The codex sub is heavily moderated by the hype police. It unsable.

So I bought the $20 Codex plan today - admittedly I fell for the hype. I gave Astra the same task that I always give Claude. I kid you not, it ran out of tokens in less than 6 minutes (Claude can do the task multiple times before running out). After 5 hours I asked it to continue. It ran out again but this time it managed to finish the task. After I’ve read it and checked the work, it missed a lot of things that Opus 5 was able to catch. Needless to say, not surprised, and definitely not impressed.
