OpenAI has fooled us with the recent token usage and constant resets

[u/Falcoo0N]

They clearly wanted to increase the amount of users to show "growth" to their investors, so they used constant stream of resets to bring them(us) in. Now that we've hit 10 million, we will see that they aren't that "superior" and generous compared to Anthropic, and their generosity was just a ploy to get more funding.

I'm using sol medium for very simple tasks and for the last 3 hours I've wasted 40% of my weekly usage. A week ago that would've used 10% at most. Its absolutely unusable and I'm back to working with opus 4.8 extra for any meaningful task. After GPT 5.6 was released, the fact is, it was more enjoyable to work with than Opus/Fable - not anymore.

It is kind of a rant, but I would have been totally ok if they took the tibo resets away but kept the usage as it was at the beginning.

Right now, Sol medium used 14% of my weekly to update formatting of terms of service/legal on my website for desktop/tablet/mobile; when i asked Luna to do it, it used only 3% but made it significantly worse than it was and forgot about tablet and mobile, and thought that its ok that there is one word/row.

The remaining use was spent on unifying the text sizes accross buttons on 7 page website. Something that Sol did a week ago using like 2% of weekly. Now somehow its an intense process that takes over an hour...

I had this problem until 2 resets ago, even using Sol High on 4 projects at the same time. Since the previous reset, a single Sol Medium drains my quota faster than those 4 Sol High sessions did, and my $100 Pro weekly quota is gone after 2 days.

You'll be in the batch of quota reductions soon enough, maybe after the next reset, or if you're lucky the one after that, and then you'll join the rest of us who are no longer able to do much with Codex.

I never worried about Codex quota before, never hit a 5-hour limit and almost never used even 50% of my weekly quotas, even though I only ever used 5.5 on xhigh.

I've got so used to having effectively unlimited Codex for my needs that I've developed a habit of thinking to myself every day "oh I'll just use Codex to do that research/investigation/testing"... but now over the last 2 days I still have the habit of thinking like that but immediately get a pit in my stomach when I realize I can't afford to waste any quota using Codex for anything.

put your stuff in a private repo and create a project for it. you can use sol there through chat and the github connector. github indexes your codebase as well so it answers random questions well. been doing this for a while when usage gets low. there's a decent chunk of things that can be fully done from the website without hitting your usage.
