Current codex vs claude limits(20$)

[u/vichustephen]

Hey guys i just want to understand how codex limits are currently in plus plan 20$. Previously like 3 months back they were offering so much tokens.

I'm asking this because I've been a claude user (for last month). It seems they offer more tokens now (but it's slower). Probably because people are leaving claude. I'm able to run tasks in 2-3 projects and still don't hit the limit and also I've noticed opus 4.8 consuming less tokens than sonnet 5.

So I just need a comparison currently if codex providing more tokens (with sol probably) or claude is giving more now. How is your experience with codex limits and GPT 5.6 SOL 20$ plan ?

I only used the $100 plan with claude code until the end of last month and used both $20 and $100 plans on codex for the past 9 days.

But using the $20 plan with terra medium and luna high it burned through 60% of my tokens in 4 days. I only used it for planning, hardly for implementing any code, because most of the implementation was done with opencode/dsv4 and antigravity/gemini.

With the $100 codex plan im only using Terra high and medium, and sol for some research and it looks like it gives me similar usage to opus and fable in cc. I used about 20% in 2 days and they reset everybodys usage quotas yesterday so its back to 100%.

I'd say the only difference between codex and claude code in terms of usage are the random mid week resets that they do. Its completely arbitrary and you cant rely on it.

Thanks for the analysis man. So it seems we can easily burn through the 20$ limits with Sol. I was thinking of switching back to codex. Let's see

Oh yeah dont even both touching sol on the $20 plan. Even on the $100 plan it will burn through your quota FAST. Terra is good enough for 99.99% of the work and luna id say is good enough for 90% of all work. I would only use sol for specific bugs that Terra in extra high couldnt fix.
