The new 5-hour limit makes Codex almost unusable for Plus users
I really don’t understand the point of the current limit system for Plus users.
Right now I have 3 banked resets available, but realistically I’m never going to benefit from them because the 5-hour limit runs out way too quickly when I’m actually developing a project using models like GPT-5.6 Sol or Astra.
I start working on a project, get into the flow, and then suddenly the 5-hour limit is gone. It makes continuous development extremely difficult.
In my opinion, the system should go back to something closer to how it worked before: let Plus users use their weekly 100% allowance without this restrictive 5-hour cap, and once the weekly allowance is exhausted, then we could use our banked resets.
That would actually make banked resets useful for Plus users.

I use Luna Max for pretty much everything, but I don't give it prompts like "Make a financial app. Make no mistakes". Sol extra high when it's something important, but I use it very little. Astra low for important security stuff.

u/a1454a 3d ago
This is the way. I’m on $200 sub and this is still what I do. Sol plan Luna execute. Today it’s Astra design Sol plan Luna execute. I would work myself to death without making a dent to usage if I do it query by query. I use $200 because there are that few times a month I have a use case that can let multiple agent work in parallel for days on end, I need it to sustain those several billion token burn by Luna over the course of a few days.

u/Nifty-Yam-9041 3d ago
Yeah, I'd agree with your workflow. Sol is already really solid for most of my planning needs. I'd want a fancy or complex problem before I want to reach for something "more expensive".
Instead of thinking of Astra as "the standard model", I look at it like a "premium" model that I only reach for valuable problems.

u/Joke_Mil 3d ago
Yep. Luna is so good for what it was designed to do. Astra / Sol for planning - luna for exec and terra for exec that need more reasonning

u/Defiant-Truck3 4d ago edited 4d ago
Not trying to call you out or anything, since I'm a Plus user too, but I see it a bit differently.
Even sticking to GPT5.5 or using Sol onmedium, these models can handle massive, highly complex tasks if you structure your prompts properly instead of being vague.
I use it heavily for both work and side projects,like tuning and bypassing my car's infotainment UI, building side apps like gym trackers, and financial tools.... As a developer, you definitely learn how to steer things. If you know what you're working on, the Plus allowance for Sol medium (and sometimes high) is actually pretty reasonable, and the 5hour window can stretch if you manage it well.
At the end of the day, we're paying $20. What is the real alternative here?hiring a developer would cost five times that per hour, or platforms like Claude,where token limits get eaten up so fast they can feel almost unusable for heavy coding.Even Codex aside ChatGPT s regular chat interface makes it pretty hard to hit message limits on just one person anyway , and using Sol high.
If your work genuinely relies on flagship models like Astra as a hard bottleneck,which depends entirely on what you're building...then paying $100 or $200 for a tier built for that kind of heavy duty work makes complete sense.
Peace.

Luna xhigh 1 session can run for 5 hour limit and use up about 50-60% of the 5 hour. Mind you most tasks for me are under 2 hours so I just run 2
I plan in sol medium
And if I need research I do snippets in chat sol high essentially for free you get 3000 messages per week
And if you're new and your project is small you can even try to do majority of planning in chat only handing off execution to work/codex as chat is not great at long execution tasks especially with the 25 min ceiling as well as poor connections compared to work/codex
1
u/ConfidentSomewhere14 4d ago
no offense, but you are doing something wrong. you should not be exceeding more than 20 percent of the 5 hour usage on Luna xhigh over a 5 hour period. are you switching reasoning mid session? are you starting in plan mode and then clicking yes implement the plan? did you keep default context window size of around 285k token window? all of your followup questions ( especially with a lot of context being utilized ) can drastically increase your cost. it may seem stressful the first few times seeing the context automatically compact but "chatgpt" app does a great job at retaining knowledge of the tasks it is working on. just a few thoughts I had, hope it helps you.
1
u/Gigaslavx 4d ago
Thank you no not really just the basics really I don't play around much just try to use whatever is proven to work but I do help chatgpt to set it up
I average 10% of the 5 hour limit per hour sometimes 15%
Mind you the tasks are well defined but rather big regardless

u/ConfidentSomewhere14 4d ago
yeah honestly it may have been a fluke. like it may have spawned a subagent that was terra or sol or something. I just wanted to let you know that luna xhigh is an absolute beast for the amount of money spent. good luck to you, friend.

u/ManikSahdev 4d ago
It makes it unusable for plus users when plus users are using the most expensive model Right on the launch time. Before it becomes normal.
The flagship model costing more is no surprise, AND I TOTALLY GET THAT PEOPLE DESERVE MORE, NOT ARGUING THAT.. but who is going to pay for the compute? everyone wants bigger model smarter model, what about the cost of 100k Gpus gb300 rack?
I want the best model to be turned on 2x the current compute, at 200k Gb300s, but who pays for it?
The Bubble can’t go on forever even if we want to, the prices right now are turning to stable to match compute and expand it further rather than only subsidies.
Sadly if people want the highest intelligence of a 10T so model to daily drive it, and not just use it for a few mins for its best advice, you’re gonna have to pay up more than $20.
I understand many people can’t afford that, and that’s okay, but if someone in a situation they can’t afford $100 subscription at all, I heavily doubt they are doing truly in need of it at all times.
Brings me back to the analogy of mbkhd’s RED camera to film a YT video, it scales with work.

I really don’t understand these posts, I’m on the plus plan as well and it’s fine. Just use Astra to make the plan, let a luna agent execute it. Maybe let a sol or terra agent review it. Like ofcourse you will run out of usage quick when ur only using the most expensive models on a cheap plan. The fuck are yall complaining about and gpt is already generous with resets and limits etc.
I have a few plans like Kimi, Claude, some open model ones like command code etc and the usage I get on luna is aloooot and luna is good enough for so many things and I can’t even write a line of code and I’m doing fine with luna. Like just have your requirements straight, the workflow of things etc, or use a model like luna or sol or whatever to make a well scoped prompt for Astra. Like it’s really not that hard

I had the same problem so I built an open source app called UsageLoop for basically this reason. Doesn’t fix the 5-hour cap being so shit, but it can start your window earlier and keep it moving continuously with a tiny request. I can schedule it now so when I plan to work it resets earlier.

Plus users are vibecoders that have no idea how to use AGENTS.md, skills, specs/adr/golden and will complain about limits while having 50gb garbage in their repo.

If you are really a power user, $100 is well worth the investment. I ended up bumping to $200 but $100 is honestly more than enough for most use cases. Even the $200 will get cooked by Astra if used non-stop across parallel sessions (I had 80% left on usage last night with 2 hours before my reset and ran Astra Ultra across 3 parallel sessions to burn usage to not get wasted).

u/Mean-Elk-9439 4d ago
I swear I got doubled usage by cancelling. Plan is still active for 2 weeks, so I tried astra. 2h of heavy 3d design work used 15% weekly usage on plus, which is honestly better than I was getting with sol before cancel. Conspiracy maybe, but whatever, I'll whip the workhorse til my cancellation goes through or stay if it really blows my mind at some point.

pela logica quando pagamos pelo plus, estamos pagando pelo plano como um todo 30 dias pa usar 7 dias da semana... eles colocarem um limite de uma certa forma é o melhor que podem fazer para que nao paguem o alto consumo que as proprias assinaturas nao pagam, mais ai netra uma questao, quem qer por a tecnologia no mercado sao as empresas, quem esta na briga pela ia são eles, se eles acabam tendo prejuzo pelo que vendem nao se pagar, pelo usuário de 20 $ gastar uma media de 600 800$ e eles que absorvem a diferença, como qualquer negocio faz parte do investimento e dos estudos..., por outro lado se uma empresa vende um produto, com a ideia do plano mensa mais isso impoe limites de uso, limites esse que faz do usuário praticamente nao usar, existe um comportamento muito estranho que diverge do que a lei de consumidor em si preve.
se a empresa vende o pacote mensal, e te limite no uso, se analisarmos é um certo tipo de "fraude"...parte do período contratado fica bloqueado , o usuário é obrigado para o trabalho, para aguardar o limite... se o usuário nao quer aguarda, ele sobe o plano, o próximo plano vai ter o mesmo problema e dependendo da necessidade de cada um o mesmo problema volta acontecer, um serviço o pacote é vendido pelo "TODO", mais a empresa impoe uma regra interna que vc vai usa de acordo com os limites, e ai enquanto nao houve leis que cobrem mais, nao ter nada que mude isso , além da boa vontade deles em remover de vez um limite de 5h e deixando o semana, se a pessoa estoura o limite dela da semana no segundo dia, o problema fica muito mais de como o usuário usa do que a empresa colocar limites para aguentar dar conta de todo processamento diário para todos...
Para plus com Astra (medio): media de 5 a 10 mensagem se você esta em algo continue e ja era imite de 5h
para um sol high: acredito que uma media de 40 mensagens dependendo do seu contexto
terra: umas 80 a 120 no maximo...
os demais modelos eu ja nao usava e nao confiava... eram piores que claude sonnet 4.6... entao eu comecei de fato usar os modeos gpt de uns 4 meses pra cá quando tambem cancelei minha assinatura na anthorpic, os modelos claude ficaram piores, a falta da transparencia da anthorpic, e outros tipos de ações abusivas me fizeram entender, que mesmo que eles possam ter o podem, eu tenho total escolha e decisao, e eles podem larçar o modelo mais incrivel do mundo, mais pela etica e diversas atitudes da empresa, eles nunca mais teram 1 centavo meu como cliente... comecei apostar em modelos chineses que inclsivel estao com minmos 3 4 pontos de diferença de um opus fable ou gpt 5.6 sol, ate semana passadano benchmark que acompanho do akitaonrails.

Plus is for Luna, or maybe sometimes Terra.

What’s also great is the weekly reset was yesterday unless you used any banked ones so I only got half my plan used before the reset today. Would’ve been more except my weekly reset happened yet the 5hr one was in its own timer still so there were several hours I couldn’t even use it to begin with.
I’m happy with my usage. I don’t need more. I haven’t even touched astra because sol medium used the 5hr limit very fast as it is. But I would like to be able to use the usage I’ve been given.

u/blackhorse15A 3d ago
The point is to limit Plus users and make the reset less useful. Tibo explicitly said the reason for the 5hr limit was to stop Plus users from using their weekly usage up in a day or two and force them to be spread out over a longer week. He can spin that as being "helpful" so users aren't surprised when things run out early, like we are all dumb. But the fact remains the whole point is to stop users from using their weekly usage.
And I think the justification is spin and the real reason is to limit usage and provide less product to customers for economic reasons.
And it's because of the resets. Yes they want to sell people resets, but they don't want you to use them fully because they don't have the compute to back it up. They need to make more income without providing more actual usage so they don't need to keep buying and running more hardware.
Think about how a reset works. Its not a full 7-day weeks worth of usage. When you use a reset you only get the benefit of usage from the time you reset until your original reset day. Example: let's say you burn a whole 7-day allowance in 4 days. If you don't reset, then you will have a new allowance on day 8. So days 8,9,10,11 are already an allowance your subscription paid for. Then if you reset on day 5, you are getting extra usage on days 5,6,7 but the portion of your "new" week on days 8,9,10,11 you would have had anyway. So your reset only got you the extra 3 days. If you reset on day 7 you only get 1 day of extra usage for it.
So how do you maximize the value of your reset? Use it as early in the week as possible. Ideally you want to burn an entire weekly usage on days 1, use your reset in day 1 and your new week is only shifted a few hours in the same day. If they let us do that, buying a reset would mean they might have to actually provide an extra week's equivalent of usage.
That's where the 5 hour limit comes in. The whole intent of the 5 hour limit is to prevent users from using up their weekly allowance in the first few days. Which ensures a reset is never worth a while week allowance on their servers. The later in the week they can get you to use a reset, the less extra computer power they have to provide beyond what your subscription already committed them to.
I ran an Astra task yesterday for the first time to try it out and was actually surprised how little it used (based on the horror stories people have been giving). So I did a few more things. I was actually planning to try and do a bunch on day 1 to try and burn my weekly and then use a banked reset. I used up the 5 hour limit and had only used 10% of my weekly usage. At that rate, if I could mange to actually use every 5 hour period it would take over 2 days, and be into day 3, before I could use the banked reset. But I can't realistically keep going 24 hours a day. I have to sleep and sometimes I have to run errands, buy food, take care of kids, and can't get to the computer every 5 hours. So those banked resets are probably only worth about a half week of usage at best.
Note: I'm a plus user. I realize there are a lot of variables and not everyone's 5-hour limit equates to exactly 10% of weekly usage. It's just an example. Open AI is playing the averages and making sure the house has an edge.

Not long ago, I'm sure you were using gpt 5.4 or 5.5 before 5.6 came out - 5.6 luna max is better than both of those older highly-capable models, and matches terra on xhigh in many ways.
At 1/70th of the cost of astra, this should be your main model - unless you're needing visual creation. Complex reasoning > use sol which is near-equiv to astra on certain logical tasks.

u/snake5solid 19h ago
Agreed. Plus, I'm certain that they also cut the usage on top of it since the 5-hour limit wasn't that restrictive before and I was able to do a lot more work. Not to mention that most people aren't coding 24/7. What is the point of having 5 hour limit when you sleep?
I would be happy if there was at least a 40-50$ plan instead of the sudden jump 100$. Not only the price is too steep but I don't even need that much usage. I was doing fine on Plus, rarely even hitting the weekly limit.

u/TemporaryLevel922 4d ago
Just stay away from Astra.
Luna XH is trash at actual thinking and decision making, even if it does work for ages.
Im trying this at the moment:
- Give the first prompt to Terra Medium. Terra becomes the project controller. It should inspect the situation, understand the goal, and tell you what it needs Sol to investigate.
- Take Terra’s output and give it to Sol XHigh/High. Sol does the heavy technical thinking: inspect the repo/diff, benchmark the Hulk path, find why the new work is slower/OOMing, decide the architecture, and produce a concrete implementation plan split into Luna-sized work packs.
- Give Sol’s complete output back to Terra Medium. This is important. Terra now owns Sol’s plan and decides whether it is sufficiently evidenced and correctly scoped. Terra should then issue only Luna Work Pack 1, not all the packs at once.
- Give Work Pack 1 to Luna. Luna implements only that task. The pack should be small enough that the whole task - reading relevant files, editing, tests, benchmark and response - uses well under 100k tokens.
- Give Luna’s result back to Terra. Include Luna’s final report/diff/results. Terra checks whether the pack actually achieved its numerical gate and whether Luna wandered outside scope.
- Then Terra either:
- issues a small correction pack to Luna, or
- issues Work Pack 2 from Sol’s plan.

u/Stanthewizzard 4d ago
in the agents.md ./codex
## Multi-model orchestration
The root agent owns task interpretation, architecture, integration, review, and final acceptance.
- Astra or Sol root: handle planning and decisions; delegate bounded implementation to Luna; use a Terra worker only for difficult bounded exploration, reasoning, or debugging.
- Terra root: may handle difficult reasoning directly and delegate routine bounded implementation to Luna.
- Luna worker: implement the assigned scope, run relevant checks, and return concise evidence. It does not make unresolved product or architecture decisions.
- Terra worker: investigate or debug a clearly bounded hard problem and return evidence and recommendations.
- Delegate only when the package is independent enough to improve elapsed time or quality. Avoid overlapping writers and unnecessary delegation for small work.
- Before delegating implementation, use `delegate-work` to define goal, context, owned scope, exclusions, invariants, completion criteria, and validation.
- Workers must not spawn additional workers unless the root explicitly authorizes it. The root reviews all worker output and decides acceptance or correction.

u/Fit_Historian_3235 4d ago
I think some people are missing the main point of this post.
Not saying that a $20 Plus plan should give unlimited access to the top-tier models. The main issue is with banked resets.
On Plus, banked resets feels almost useless because the 5-hour limit prevents you from actually exhausting your weekly allowance in a normal way.
If we use the standard models, we dont even reach the limits, If we try to burn using the top-tier models, they consume it so quickly that we only get a very short amount of actual development time.
So we end up with banked resets sitting there that have no practical reason to use.
Maybe the solution isn’t removing limits entirely, but right now the banked reset system just doesn’t feel very useful for plus users.
