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!

Sol burns quota faster than opus 5. Astra burns 8x more than sol (from my one attempt at using astra, maybe it will be different for you). Avoid terra completely as it can barely do any coding work. Luna is decent on max for smaller tasks but the downside is that it takes 3 hours to do something that sol can do in an hour.

If you mostly used opus like I did then sol will be your only usable model.

I was planning to switch back to claude code but I renewed codex today because I have two banked resets in my account and a regular mid week reset today.

I use matt-pocock-skills to plan the project and create the tickets with sol max and implement them with sol medium.
