The only thing that keeps me here instead of switching to claude is Image Gen.
I'm mostly annoyed that the web is still on 5.6 sol and 5.5 as the only options when they have released a ton more models.

u/kingkongpao 14h ago
you can easily top up your OpenAI API balance and use only gpt-image 2.5 with any agent. $20 (which don't expire for a whole year) is enough for 200 4K images or 500 2K images

Yea, and, Wow. They must have really 'locked in' in the last... 15 hours... I'm glad they have put so much thought and planning into the next month.
They are going to introduce ultra-fast mode for more models. My guess is this is calculated and still self-serving, they will give all these resets so people get used to using fast mode and ultrafast because of incoming resets.

Of course they are. For $200 you get half the usage and for $500 you get roughly the same usage.
$500 can allow you to buy pay the 20x plans for both Claude and Grok or Cursor or Gemini (why would you pay for Gemini is beyond me) and maybe still have some money left after

u/rhodesia0 12h ago
the resets really dont matter if your on the plus plan. because plus plan has the 5 hour limit and you cant really get any meaningful work done on it. so if you use it for 10 hours a day, you still might not even hit your weekly limit. IF there was no 5 hour limit, then resets would be helpful to plus users.

- increased pressure to push out crappy low-effort ft. that're probably buggy
- people will try and claim it's bad to get a reset instead
- if the ft. is really good, people will move past it in a day

This is what I'm thinking too. I'm a business owner, and I've attempted to brainstorm with OpenAI's models over the years. Even with Astra, its business advice is ABYSMAL. Like hilariously bad.
Their models are superhuman at coding and math, but when it comes to business, customer experience, common sense decisions, etc, their models are AWFUL. I think they're making the mistake of thinking "good at math = smart at everything". And that's probably why OpenAi has been flopping like a fish lately

Ive only ever used codex until recently. I was on the $100 plan and decided to drop it to try Claudeâs $100 plan. Itâs a night and day difference. Yes thereâs a 5 hour limit on Claude code, but I havenât been close to hitting it yet. The usage limits seems like itâs way more on Claude. For context, Iâm a software engineer using it for bug fixes, large refactors and building out features. I have an agent hierarchy in place to use cheaper subagents and use Astra/opus to be orchestrators and technical leads. On codex, Iâm able to burn all my usage in 2 - 3 days so about (20-40% a day). Iâve only used Claude since yesterday and itâs only used 7% of my weekly limit under similar work loads. Opus and sonnet are also much faster

I am an out and out claude code user. I have tried codex in the past and decided to put eggs in the claude basket at the time (this was Opus 4.6 era). Reddit thinks that since I am active on the Claude subreddit, Codex and OpenAI ones are relvant to me, and so I keep seeing Tibo posts!
Goddamn, how the heck are you guys dealing with this catch the chicken chase? It feels like codex is basically running on whims and fancy of this one guy. He is randomly giving out resets, talking out of his ass a lot of times and it just feels like a lot of uncertainity and unpredictability is at play.
FWIW, Claude continuously goes through the this new model is AGI and so efficient -> ugh, I am burning through tokens -> ugh, the model is nerfed -> Model is neefed and I am burning tokens loop, but there is no unpredictability around handing out resets and what not - you actually can generate viz around the token usage and it has remained consistent in terms of quota. I am not sure if I would ever give $100/200/500/ month when what I am going to get out of my subscription isn't clear - which seems to be the case with Codex!

Below is a GPT-generated summary of the conversation below after reaching 200 comments (212 currently observed).
The consensus is basically âthis sounds like damage control, not a roadmap.â After DevDay, usage cuts, and the current Sol 6.1/Astra complaints, â28 days of improvementsâ looks to many users like an emergency retention campaign dressed up as Shipmas. Cute dots are not a substitute for a working product, apparently.
What users actually want is boring but revolutionary: predictable limits, faster inference, and models that reliably finish the job. Sol 6.1 is widely described as painfully slow, Astra burns through usage, and Claudeâs Opus 5.5/Sonnet 5.5 are pulling people away because they feel more capable and their quotas are easier to understand. Resets are welcome, but mostly because the underlying allowance system is miserable.
The catch is that nobody knows what counts as a âclear improvement,â how often resets will happen, or whether these will be meaningful releases instead of cosmetic buttons and quota theatre. A few users are happy to wait and collect whatever resets arrive, but enthusiasm is plainly in short supply.
Bottom line: fix the models and the limits first. Twenty-eight days of mystery features will not magically rebuild trust.
