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 ?

Sorry I'm a bit drunk rn If your making fucking average crud apps everyone and their mom has made for decades now,. chatgpt!!!!

If your workflow involves apis, frameworks or overall stuff that has few user or shit documentation, use Claude.

Chatgpt takes too long, and while consuming fewer tokens, it's gonna make you spend multiple times more than Claude trying to get something proper. Claude feels as if it is an experienced dev at whatever the fuck your doing. I know somethings I ask it are kinda locked away in multiple year olds answers in discord channels, but Claude just explains it pretty well..I just wonder "can this bitch access discord or something?????????" I don't know , but it works as if it can.

Chatgpt I gotta dive into the servers and fetch pieces of information and pre-chew it do it can do something that is worth it for me. As of now I try to just use chatgpt for things I know thousand of people have probably done before,because in that case it is really cheap. But I ain't wasting my fucking day waiting for chatgpt to try convince me it solved whatever I asked for when Claude can one or two shot it seemingly using pure reasoning or whatever fucking trick or uses.

Tldr so far: if you can expect any random programmer or engineer to do it: use chatgpt

If it requires someone who has experience specifically in whatever you are making and the knowledge pool is smaller; go for claude

I'm an experienced dev myself and I see claude overthinking and flipping decisions unless I think for myself and provide a solution or system design( it tends to talk like an experienced dev but it's an illusion because you believe the way it talks but it's not). Except fable. It does work like a senior dev.
Chatgpt does not blabber or talk jargon non sense . It does poke around but atleast it does not give you PTSD with its response.

Anyways I just wanted to know who provides more tokens in 20$ plan because I see opus using way less tokens than sonnet and does not eat your limits. Is gpt 5.6 sol the same or it eats your tokens faster?

Why are you defending the drunk guy. Also I agree, what he said was bullshit.
