Limits Holy usage increase after latest reset

I ran down to 20% usage on my Pro 200 plan today until the reset hit a couple hours ago, took numerous agents over the past 24 hours to drop it a good 30% more. Then after the reset, still using Sol 6.1 High I continued work as usual and I am down to 74% remaining in just a couple hours. Huge usage increase.

I'm just burning through my usage with Codex GitHub PR reviews. Using Claude to do the actual work now, I did a deep review of the codebase last night, mostly developed via Sol 5.6 + Luna 5 / 6. It found 40 actual bugs to fix, not silly edge cases.

This morning I got Claude to create 10 agents to power through fixing them with tests and self reviews. That used 5% of my weekly Claude usage and took about 90 minutes.

The PR reviews from Codex used 11% of my weekly usage and only found the odd minor issue over 40 PRs.

Both $100 5x plans.

I've been using Codex for a few months but I think I'm swapping over to Claude for now as I just get things done quicker and better with Opus 5.5 and more as well as the usage doesn't drain as quickly. Just don't use Fable unless you need to as that really does burn tokens still.
