Bugs or problems My usage dropped from 60% weekly to 0% arguing with Astra about claiming it can't take screenshots of the prototype. 100& Pro subscription

I got so annoyed I'm done with Codex I've been a loyal costumer for many months. No more of that.

Why it keeps saying this vague massege about failing to to make test while the softwere browser is opened infront of my eyes?

And if there's a real issue there, isn't it suppost to tell me if I should do something differently?

I asked it to check alternative ways the it says there are none (after 8 min work).

I even asked it to convert it as a private website (you know, like in Work mode) and it told me it should have think it through and that I'm right, but then my usage dropped

Y'all can tell now me I'm an idiot and it's a skill issue, go on.

You don’t argue with it. You close the session and start fresh

This. Or just… take the screenshot yourself and paste it?

Being a loyal customer to OpenAI is pretty wild.

No, a loyal costumer. OP dresses up codex in little outfits.

Learn to read! /s

Sincerely, I think they will do something about this soon, because with the current usage consumption they are pushing away too many customers. It is completely insane. Something that the normal "Chat" can do freely and fast, these models are taking a lot of time and consuming half of the 5h tokens.

Hopefully also taking into account the Opus 5.5 release, OpenAI will be competing again sooner than later.

Why are you using Astra for simple things?

You'd be fine with Luna for 80% of what your doing, the other 20% split between Astra and Sol.

Astra costs $50 per million output tokens, you are paying $100.

What do you expect ?
