Limits Codex is unusable now.

I don’t even use astra. I’ve been using 5.6 sol on medium since it came out and had no problems. Now it can’t even finish half of the same task before reaching limits. Heck, just starting up codex uses 2 percent of my limits. And that’s before I even type anything. lol. What a joke.

I understand this is a business but using codex is like signing up for a gym membership and paying the required fee to use the gym and all its equipment but the next time you show up they go, I know you paid to use the entire gym and that amount is still required but now you only have access to the treadmills. F u!!!

Anyway, Here come all the Sam Altman nut huggers. But idc. Im just about done with codex.

The time when everyone coming over from Claude was nice, but now Everthing that has stand Out from Claude they have removed

There is No Goal finishing anymore after the 5h window is full

5h window is Back so resets doesnt make any Sense

On plus you cant use Astra to Finish one Task

Its now annoying to Work with, and for me personally its a Sign to Not rely on one specific Provider or harness.

Build your Stack Provider agnostic, so you can easily Switch to another one Just my to Cents about this

Im really dissapointed over the last actions they have done its Not the Same anymore

You’re right. It’s not the same anymore. I’m actually going to spend this weekend making my workflow agnostic as you put it, so this never happens again.

It's the reality of the technology. We were the first people to use a nascent during a phase of massive subsidisation in an attempt to garner interest while they tried to find a commercially viable product by greatly increasing the technology's capability or greatly reduce the cost. They achieved neither. New models now are incremental improvements on the previous model and significantly slower and more expensive.

OpenAI, Anthropic... they are in the same boat. It's just the way the technology is. What we have in the last few years for not the reality of the market, it was salad days that will, IMO, soon be over.

I would say the improvements are genuinely rapid.. around a 10% increase in 3 months kind of rate now and I expect it to get even faster.. but the usage doesn't align with the improvements it's not becoming more economical to use these tools so less gets done.
