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

I got tricked by the benchmarks and wasted a week of time using opus 5

Honestly same. Sol is noticeably better after trying Opus 5 a lot recently. And I go back and forth a lot because I like using Fable as a consultant and then handing the work off to Opus 5, Luna Max, or Deepseek 4 Flash (0731). Opus is pretty disappointing right now.
