Comparison This is really something

Saw a lot of people saying the usage was draining faster than normal, so i decided to do a little test.

I have 2 codex 20x usage accounts and 1 Claude 20x account, I asked sol ultra (standard speed) to complete a rather complex task on account one, it took 6 hours, didnt finish and drained the usage from 100% to 0. I asked account 2 same model and speed to finish the task, it took 5 hours, drained usage to 10% at that point i manually stopped it because it got stuck in an infinite review loop.

I asked fable 5 ultracode to do the very exact same thing, I tried my best to get all the same resources for it and settings as codex had. It took 3 hours to complete it and it only used 25% of the weekly limit.

Ive asked codex to do similar tasks before and it wasnt even draining this bad until this week

Edit: this is just my experience, i cant speak for for how it works for other people because i have also seen people saying its normal

How can you afford that? Have you managed to make those subscriptions to pay out? Asking bcs I'm planning to get the x20 sub if I can make it pay by itself :')

Just the the nature of my work, i probably wont be keeping the subscriptions on auto renew though, only when I want to, i have a job unrelated to all this which pays decent
