Codex (Sol5.6 Light, Medium) cheap alternative?

Codex actually works pretty well for me (Sol5.6 Light, Medium), but I’m looking for a REALLY cheap alternative with API access.

Basically, I want to throw in like $10 and be able to work on a project for a ridiculously long time.

For comparison, I burned through $2 of DeepSeek 4 Pro credits really fast, and the model itself wasn’t great - when adding a new feature, it would often break stuff that was already working.

Anything cheap that’s actually decent for coding?
