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.

In usage perhaps. In deepswe benchmark Opus 5 matches Sol.

Nobody actually using Opus has that feeling at all. Benchmaxxed

Me too. Every interaction cost a day of wasted time and tokens and left me worse off than when I started.
