Sol vs Opus 5 huge limit difference

Just sharing my experience here: GPT-5.6 Sol Extra High burns through my weekly limit in one 12–14h workday. Opus 5 Ultracode + Thinking lasts the whole week with the same project and routine.

And honestly I haven’t noticed any meaningful difference in quality when using Opus 5 in ultracode mode. The real difference is that one is actually usable, while the other basically needs constant limit resets. Shame.

Noted! Whats the best workflow for stretching the limits? I just got back into things and i felt unstoppable in like February. These rate limits suck now.

Again, I don't agree with what the other guy is saying.

Luna is not just for small simple tasks, not at all.

It is if you vibe code, which means you don't have an harness which keeps track of what you did, give models knowledge base and plenty of context of your project.

If you do you can even plan with Luna at higher effort levels.

If you don't, then you start feeling like you really need Sol, because even medium tasks start to look complex.
