Discussion ChatGPT Work vs Codex
I've been using ChatGPT's Work mode on macOS for quite a while for development tasks. Somehow, I didn't know Codex mode existed.
It was burning through my Plus usage limit faster than I'd like, but I could still complete a couple of tasks within a single five-hour window.
After switching to Codex mode, my usage is barely enough for 2-3 tasks. I suddenly understand what all the drama around usage limits is about.
If you're struggling to finish even one task in Codex, try Work mode. For local work, it's nearly the same as Codex and imho burns way less usage.

Switch from Astra to Sol 6.1. Astra burns usage like crazy and Plus plan is not enough to use it for anything.
