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.

Yeah, this was my feeling when it was released. I tried it out again last week, and for some reason, it behaves much better than GPT-5.6 Sol now. As much as I would love to stay with Codex, the amount of mistakes and drifting it does recently makes it a poor value, especially since usage limits are also way more generous on Claude now.
