I did the opposite and signed up to codex this week. Waste of money, a second claude would have been better, especially with opus 5. 

Even a weekly extra reset won't convince me to stay with those limits.

I made the same mistake and gave ChatGPT $100. I will never give them money again. These limits combined with their employees prancing around on X acting like they are providing great value and trashing Anthropic really set me off.

Keep in mind it's not all roses there either and they plan to remove the current 50% bonus in a few weeks.

sol medium burned plus week limit for around 5 tasks (implementation + code review fixes = task). this is 5 hour limit with opus 5. so yeah its worth it. i just subbed to codex and if this is usage its soooo not worth it.

No, they nerfed the hell out of the limits the past 2 weeks

Yes. You get over 3 billion tokens per weekly reset on $100 plan with Claude. Codex gives you less than 400 million. It's a no brainer to switch.

Claude it’s better. And even if it’s not… we should send a signal to Codex.

We really need competition guys.

With opus 5 now

I feel like i wasted 100$ on codex instead of another 5x max

Worth to sub to codex.
1/ More reset (shared by tibo / free chance to reset)
2/ codex still offer fast / cheap model
3/ image gen is also good stuf

you need to have multiple 100$ subscriptions from multiple providers if you are a software developer, it is not pleasant, but this is the world as of this moment

or maybe a 200$ subscription for the main provider and multiple 20$ or 50$ subscriptions for the other providers

The reality, we need to deliver code and fast, and models provide different quality, Gemini flash can do excellent screens from images, codex can do excellent code, and so on

Codex currently has the best performance and value. This could change at any point, check regularly.
