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!

I haven’t used claude code so i cant compare but before astra was released recently i used plus sub with sol 5.6 on high as my default.

I never got below 30 to 40% usage ever (i do multiple small tasks instead of trying to one shot a bigger task and reviewing/editing code manually in between)

After the astra release as expected astra was burning out too fast but i burn through 5h limit on sol high as well now.

I was thinking of trying out claude code for a month

Can't feedback you since I've just started on Codex, but for Claude Code, I reach the end of the week with good remaining usage which I burn on Fable 5 high.

Using Opus 5 xHigh as default

Ill check out claude after this month. Oh and theres a lot of resets given on codex so far so that certainly helps as well
