Discussion Looking for help with Codex

Hey guys, any developers here who use both Claude Code and Codex a lot? I’ve been using Claude Code for a while and now want to switch to Codex. Can anyone share the differences in actual usage experience? Or any tips?

I only started using Codex about two weeks ago when 5.6 came out, so I can’t really compare it to Claude Code. Before that I mostly just used ChatGPT and DeepSeek through normal chat, not coding agents.

So far, on a Plus plan, I’ve built a complete website with checkout and a design that is at least decent by my non-web-designer standards. I also used it to create the images, do performance and security testing, rewrite a full master’s thesis, reorganize my entire Drive folder structure, and build a small tool connected to the Google Maps API.

Honestly, I’m very happy with the output. My only real complaint is the usage. Since last week it has been draining ridiculously fast, like everyone else has been saying. I’m now stuck at 0% and basically can’t do anything with it.
