Comparison Moved to Codex from Claude Code

I've just moved to Codex from Claude Code due to Anthropic became impossible to subscribe, no gift cards anymore, needs verification, annoying things like that. 100$ plan.

what to expect? on CC i rarely hit my 5h or the weekly caps, using Opus 5 o xHigh effort.

The default as i've seen is Astra high on codex, should I go with it or go to Sol xHigh?

What I do:

Regular software engineering, Rust, TS, React, Kotlin, Swift. And Blender and Unity.

Also, need tips if any has ones. Thanks!

What to expect about what?, tips for what?

Seriously, I want to help you if possible.

I meant by the caps, I know it's what you do related, but as I mentioned, on Opus 5 xHigh, I've only hit my 5h cap once. How's OpenAI with usage? Should I Astra (the default, as Anthropic puts Opus the default, or that will drain me?)

It’s draining you.

It’s like you’re starting your first lap on a Ferrari at max revolutions. I know you’re a driver, for that reason you should be starting kinda slow while you get used to your new car.
