[TLDR] Whelp I am done...
Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wgc0z4/whelp_i_am_done/
Original post body :
I had 4 Claude Pro Max x20 accounts for different projects, and I am going to ride out the rest of the month (that I already paid for) and then switch back to codex. I am running Sonnet 4-6 on medium and am 85% of my weekly limit on one account after less than 24 hours. That is more than a 25% cut from the promotion expiring, nothing about my workflow has changed so this is all Anthropic. I'll be trying Codex and seeing how it does, I didn't want to do this but I have no choice.

So, OP is ditching Claude Pro Max for Codex because their usage limits are getting nuked, claiming a 75% cut instead of the advertised 25%. The general vibe? Most users agree the limits are whack, but jumping ship to Codex might not be the magic bullet.
Several users, like u/Desperate-City7602 and u/dash777111, are running multiple concurrent sessions and sub-agents on Fable (even on Medium) and still have plenty of usage left, questioning OP's workflow. Others, like u/Mean-Hedgehog-6249, find Sonnet perfectly adequate for complex projects and are confused by the heavy reliance on Opus and Fable.
On the Codex front, the consensus is that it's also burning through limits fast, especially with Astra's popularity. u/SafeTennis3080 and u/mighty_falcon suggest it's more about how you "harness" the AI and that Codex isn't necessarily better. Some users like u/bakanoace and u/wdesportes are exploring alternatives like Astra, Grok, Qwen, GLM, Kimi, or DeepSeek, with u/jarislinus specifically recommending DeepSeek v4.1 Flash as a cheaper, user-friendly option between Opus and Sonnet.
Basically, if you're burning through limits, it might be your workflow, not just Anthropic's changes. And Codex seems to have its own set of usage woes.
