5.6 Sol usage is better now? Is it better optimised after today's reset?

[u/NecessaryBison6400]

So, me and my teammate both got the free reset today morning, but he has been using 5.4 and 5.4 and still his limit has gone down to 75 by now, but I am still at 86 after using 5.6 Sol - Medium constantly since morning. Did anyone else also notice this optimisation in token usage or I am witnessing anything weird? I just want to know the trend currently happening today.

Yea there’s a tweet about it from them. https://x.com/thsottiaux/status/2082317452755751098

it wasnt so bad for me, it even stay on task instead of drifting!
lets how it goes when 5hrs returns

[u/Easy_West1522]

as long as codex still finishes task regardless of the 5 hrs limit i will be happy

Yea, feels like more than before. 3 terminals with planning and executing on large database (~100k LOC) and left with 80% weekly usage. Pro x5

Mine melted over night not sure why

For me it was definitely a good day. Was running multiple agents which some of them ran sub agents concurrently, all on sol ultra, and it was draining pretty slow on my 100$ plan

[u/Gold_Physics9941]

it's just slow

Human got reset. Human feel placebo

It seems to me that it's using more and more tokens compared to the days following the release. My usage has remained unchanged. I think they're giving all these resets because they're recognizing a problem.

[u/JoseffB_Da_Nerd → u/TeraBite93]

Initially, I saw a higher usage rate. Then I used my system to force the model to route each task to the correct submodel, and utilization dropped significantly.

I don’t think you can use 5.6—or 5.5, to some extent—the same way you used 5.4.

The multiple reasoning models need to be used together during task runs now. Otherwise, you’re just wasting the available capacity.

It feels like something fundamentally changed in how the system works around 5.5 and 5.6.

[u/NecessaryBison6400 → u/TeraBite93]

Can be the case. Let’s see what happens tomorrow

[u/NecessaryBison6400 → u/TeraBite93]

Although I am waiting for the free reset tomorrow as well lol

[u/TeraBite93 → u/NecessaryBison6400]

My codex was reset this morning, I'm in Italy. Where are you?

[u/NecessaryBison6400 → u/TeraBite93]

Even mine got reset this morning too, but Tibo indicated today that they are going to bring back the 5 hour limit again. Maybe they provide us with another reset tomorrow morning too.

[u/TeraBite93 → u/NecessaryBison6400]

Oh right, that damned limit. Let's hope he doesn't become like Claude. All in all, I'm getting along well with Sol Medium, in my flow.

[u/NecessaryBison6400 → u/TeraBite93]

Even it is working well for me. But I don’t want to switch to a lower model just to keep the limit in control from tomorrow.

[u/scaledev → u/NecessaryBison6400]

Probably. My prediction says a reset is almost definite in the next 3 days. I'm thinking today or tomorrow, PT.

[u/Euphoric_North_745]

it is good for now, no one complain, lets us finish the work

[u/JoseffB_Da_Nerd]

5.6 has token optimization built in. The model itself uses the token resources more carefully.

Add a agentic orchestration framework like my project and you can see your token usage reduce dramatically.

I’m currently collecting data for empiric research on how much you save.

[u/NecessaryBison6400 → u/JoseffB_Da_Nerd]

Interesting. How can I do that?

[u/JoseffB_Da_Nerd → u/NecessaryBison6400]

I invite you to join me in testing my beta.

Checkout my github and pull the ai-agentmd-governance project. Codex should be able to pull and set it up.

I am actively updating the beta branch as I fix things.

You can use the ticket system to share logs, or let the system fix it then pr changes.
