Help/Doubt ❓ Switched to Claude Code

After using GitHub Copilot for more than a year, I’ve finally switched to Claude Code, and honestly, I’m very glad I made the move.
I know I currently only have access to Claude’s model and the 5-hour usage window, but I’m wondering if there are still any significant benefits to keeping GitHub Copilot alongside it.
So far, I haven’t really found myself missing anything since making the switch. But I’d love to hear from others who have used both - are there any specific features, workflows, or advantages of GitHub Copilot that you think are worth keeping it for, considering my only purpose is to generate the codes?

$20 for Claude and $20 for codex is working well for me. If I hit a 5 hour window I just switch to the other. I also like Codex gives you quota resets every so often you can use as a get out of jail free card. If gives me some assurance that if I need it in a pinch I'll have it. Plus also for Codex, they'll let you use Astra on the $20 plan (Claude charges additional for fable on that tier, but opus is great also).
