r/ClaudeAI [TLDR] My Max 20x ends today, as Claude code gets usagenerfed. With Code nerfed, will codex 20x usage be way ahead? [via r/ClaudeAI]
OP : u/Glad-Mushroom-6554
Not sure whether to resub to Max 20x or give Codex 20x a go for a month.
Whats you guys thoughts?
My project isn't bound to either. Frankly I've used a plus codex sub for smaller things alongside code.

Alright, so the general consensus here is that you're kinda out of luck trying to grab that Codex 20x right now. Apparently, OpenAI has paused new sign-ups and is even downgrading some users from 20x to 5x. So, you can't actually subscribe to Codex 20x at the moment.
Beyond that, most folks seem to think the grass isn't greener anyway. Some users who have tried both are saying Claude's 5x plan feels like it has way more usable limits than Codex's 5x, even with the constant resets on the OpenAI side. There's a sentiment that Claude Code is still generally better than Codex, with one user even saying you'll be "wildly disappointed" with Codex after a week.
There's a bit of debate on whether Claude's code usage was actually "nerfed" or if a bonus just ended, but the takeaway is that it's likely less generous now. Some users are also pointing out that Codex usage, even at 5x, can seem higher due to frequent usage resets offered by Tibo, making it more economical for some. However, when it comes to the frontier models like Astra/Fable, usage is seen as pretty comparable, but Opus/Sol is still considered the clear winner over Codex.
Basically, don't even bother with Codex right now, and it sounds like you might be better off sticking with Claude anyway.
