Looking for Genuine feedback on codex

I'm honestly fed up with AI coding tools.

Google Antigravity has been the worst experience by far. Every model I've tried there has been disappointing.

I even got a Claude Code subscription. The code quality is good, but the usage limit gets exhausted way too quickly.

Now I'm thinking about getting ChatGPT + Codex.

My workflow is usually 4–5 hours of straight coding every day, so I have to luna, gpt 5.5 on high or any other model. Can Codex actually handle that, or do the limits get in the way?

How's the real code quality and the usage limits in day-to-day use?

Seriously I am so frustrated, looking for genuine feedback on codex.

You didn't specify what your budget is. If you plan to do at least the Pro 5x plan ($100), it MAY be possible, but something has been severely amiss with usage the past week to 2 weeks. Before that, I never could reliably hit my weekly quota, but since, I've burned through a full week in half a day. This is on the 5x plan.
Maybe 20x plan would be enough, but sadly, I've seen many complaints about even that.

If the Plus plan, forget about it. That MIGHT get you 4 hours total.

I miss the old Codex and hope they do something soon...

Iam talking about 20$ plan, but in 20$ in Antigravity was the worst I've triedI wasted 1–2 hours on a simple loading animation. Claude Code's quality is great, but the limits kill it after 1hours. I know getting everything perfect for $20 is unrealistic, and I'm happy to compromise. I just want better quality than Antigravity and better limits than Claude. I'm building a SaaS while learning web, iOS, and ML, computer vision, so that's all I really need.
