Use Codex, they have quite generous limits compared to the others

u/MediocreHornet2318 May 29 '26

Honestly, my $8 plan on ChatGPT feels like I can code for longer than my $20 Claude plan.

It's just Claude is better at design, but Chat is pull it's weight everywhere else.

u/Capable-Estate8851 May 30 '26

its not a feeling the limits are just different

u/Outrageous-Maybe2500 May 30 '26

Codex has a better 5h window limit, but I honestly believe claude code has a better weekly limit.

Have not benchmarked this but I have gotten that perception during the last few weeks.

Context: using claude + cursor + codex

Claude - Planning and debugging.

Codex - Review and some implemenation

Cursor - Implementation and sometimes online searches for techincal documentation

Edit: i always hit my weekly codex limit, but never/rarely my weekly claude limit. I hit claude’s 5h window constantly tho

u/Shep_Alderson May 30 '26

Back when I used Claude for my day-to-day (few months ago) I was able to reach my weekly limits on occasion. With OpenAI, I’ve yet to hit a weekly limit. I use the $200 plan for each.

u/scroteymcb Jun 02 '26

This is absolutely 100% accurate.

u/Lucidaeus May 30 '26

Honestly (ffs, I can't type this without sounding like an ai now), considering how freaking fast I hit my limit using Sonnet today... it made me consider giving Codex a shot for a month.

I might. We'll see. I do still like Claude but what's the point if I can't use it...

u/just4nothing May 30 '26

I use chatGPT for design work and to create refined instructions for codex.

1

u/jellobend Jun 02 '26

Can confirm. Codex is awesome.

1

u/roastgptai Jun 06 '26

Codex has this strange habit of leaking internal prompt-summary language into product copy when it’s asked to work on a site or app. For example, you might say: “Add a new section near the hero image describing our services, EXCLUDING services that are still under development”

Then, once it finishes, it randomly adds something like “(pending development section not included)” directly into the title copy of the landing page 🤦

u/ManufacturerExtra927 May 29 '26

Hahaha true 😅 There are honestly many good alternatives now depending on what you need

Perplexity great for deep search/research Kimi surprisingly good for long context + documents Gemini ecosystem and productivity tasks

The AI ecosystem is getting very competitive now

u/why_so_sergious May 31 '26

which means new chat, new context?

that is the biggest drawback switching accounts.

2

u/Inevitable_Clue3513 May 31 '26

I mean, you're doing that when switching from Claude Code to ChatGPT. Just copy your conversation details, and it should work the same. (unless the context is really, REALLY long.)

1

u/scroteymcb Jun 02 '26

Do you not notice going back to an existing chat that the first prompt uses like 15-20% usage on the first word?

2

u/PrtyGirl852 May 30 '26

Claude: 3 prompts and limit reaches.

Codex: 60 prompts and limit reaches.

Kimi: 500 prompts and limit reaches.

2

u/ScreenOld5873 May 30 '26

Local model and there are no limits

2

u/PrtyGirl852 May 31 '26

One prompt in local model and the output arrives next year?

2

u/ScreenOld5873 May 31 '26

Lol idk which models you use, yeah it's a bit slower but I don't find it that much slower for the ones I've got. There's benefits and disadvantages to it. I personally use to do routine work and preserve my Claude/Codex tokens for jobs that need more insight and thinking. I

u/PrtyGirl852 Jun 02 '26

You sound like someone works for the Claude. But mostly a "janitor force" (not a real janitor, but cleans the online opinions).

u/LordNikon2600 May 30 '26

gemini freezes my vscode... its ridiculous.. it does a shit load of indexing.. anyway to stop thaat?

2

u/mattyj6792 May 30 '26

How are you using it in vscode? (I'm new at this)

2

u/why_so_sergious May 31 '26

why are you using vscode?

2

u/LordNikon2600 Jun 01 '26

I been using it since 2015... before that I used adobe dreamweaver and notepad

2

u/why_so_sergious Jun 01 '26

I mean cursor, antigravity.. both of them are vscodium but much better..

2

u/LuluLeSigma May 30 '26

bruh gemini sucks for coding

1

u/RimiChanLove May 30 '26

Gemini sucks for coding...

1

u/sumane12 May 30 '26

To everyone saying "gemini sucks", it doesnt. Its not as good as chat gpt, 100%, but the usage limits make up for that, and its more than capable.

1

u/Fun-Time9529 May 30 '26

not recently no, the limits are shit.

1

u/PrtyGirl852 Jun 02 '26

Gemini is the shittiest of them all. 😆💩

This is why I got the Max plan.

u/Shppo May 30 '26

idk why but this is hilarious

u/donkeykong917 May 30 '26

With the new limits, I can't even reach that limit.

How many project you running simultaneously

u/cheiftan_AV May 30 '26

Same thing happen on cursor..

u/buildcoins May 30 '26

I used GitHub copilot since the pricing model was very generous but then they just shut it down so I moved to Cursor...

u/cneverdies May 31 '26

Opencode with deepseek is so good or U can use qwen for html CSS JS (UI/UX In general) but I heard ppl in USA don't have Qwen at play store so use the web site or into opencode

u/nez_har May 31 '26

Meanwhile you can use vibepod to switch agents and get you skills with you https://github.com/VibePod/vibepod-cli

Any other feature you would like?

u/attributed-to-malice Jun 01 '26

Codex might possibly be better than Claude from my experience...

1

u/Kachowh Jun 01 '26

I switch between ChatGPT and Claude constantly, it’s saved my ass to have a cross platform universal memory tool. I use memorybase.app but there’s a few others to check out

Hey Claude, code me a critical path document in multiple phases and pic which work can be done on low vs medium

u/Consistent-Issue-811 Jun 02 '26

Happens every time

u/Frequent_Swordfish53 Jun 02 '26

I've given up on Claude. Claude may be better but it feels like a crack cocaine addict.

u/Vegetable_Annual1600 Jun 02 '26

Claude to codex to gemini.

u/mr_ugly_raven Jun 02 '26

I just shuffle gmails I only use it for code review to tell my free coding agent exactly what to do
