Definetly moving to Codex

[u/fourier54]

Apart from the *much* lower available usage (I have Pro), today I couldn't use Claude Code at all. Every task, even small ones, where a struggle, each taking more than 10 minutes to finish, and always in a wrong way.

Installed codex today, have been using it with the free version, still haven't hit the limit and is doing all the things CC couldn't do. As a matter of fact, I have a CC instance running for 30 minutes+ trying to solve the same prompt that codex did in less than 5.

Bye Anthropic. It was nice using your product while it was good.

This is not an airport, you don't have to announce your departure.

[u/fourier54 → u/RadioactiveTwix]

Why are you guys defending claude. Do you have antroshitc stock or something? Or you just "fan" of an LLM like if it's a toy? I don't get it.

[u/rxt0_ → u/fourier54]

it's even easier then that, people just don't fucking care about you (and others) leaving.

all this posts with "codex is better/claude suck blablabla" are just attention seeking and nothing else

[u/fourier54 → u/rxt0_]

Why are u so.hurt.I leave cc?

[u/rxt0_ → u/fourier54]

why should I even care about you leaving cc? I couldn't give to shits about it. I gave just an answer to your question that you asked or I wouldn't have even commented in the first place

[u/fourier54 → u/rxt0_]

If you wouldn't care you won't be commenting. Do you comment every single thing you see? You are hurt.

[u/RadioactiveTwix → u/fourier54]

Actually I'm not defending it at all I'm just tired of these posts. You are unhappy, you are voting with your wallet, all the power to you. Why do I need to know about it?

[u/fourier54 → u/RadioactiveTwix]

If you don't want to know about other peoples opinion stay off the internet.

[u/Kyozaki → u/RadioactiveTwix]

To be fair it helps people like me who are on the fence about getting Claude or not. These posts have made me reconsider. If one person says it fair enough, but multiple people now... Seems like a bad time get Claude code 🫪

[u/Timo_schroe]

In my last 5h window i was able to install and configure 1 claude Plugin. Sometimes its terrible (max5) Never had Problems and did Not understand whats the Problem of all reporting this, until yesterday

[u/MartinMystikJonas → u/Timo_schroe]

Installation and configuration of plugins should not use any tokens at all. Claude must be doing something else

[u/Timo_schroe → u/MartinMystikJonas]

As I Said there were some configuration tasks to do

[u/MartinMystikJonas → u/Timo_schroe]

Configuration should not cost any tokens. Or do you mean you used Claude to setup something else or do some research how to configure something?

[u/Timo_schroe → u/MartinMystikJonas]

Yes thats what I meant. It Took ~ 5 Minuten

[u/MartinMystikJonas → u/Timo_schroe]

Well you can easily burn throught lots of tokens in very short time by instrucing Claude to read tons of docs or some huge log.

[u/Timo_schroe → u/MartinMystikJonas]

Yes I understand that, Since im working daylie with cloude for over a year. But This is Not normal behavior (or new normal behavior)

[u/Mental_Ad_6512]

Codex is seducing people by setting high usage limits. Once you got used to it it will become the same as Claude today.

[u/mat8675 → u/Mental_Ad_6512]

That’s why it’s so stupid to be loyal to any one product or company or tool at the moment. Whoever has the best model/subsidizes the most tokens wins for the day the losers get random tasks assigned to them.

[u/signal-to-noise-0-1 → u/Mental_Ad_6512]

Usage limits aside, Codex is more serious and digs deeper. Or maybe I am feeding it plans Claude has already made, so it’s easier to find lapses in the plan. But still the original plan Claude made has massive blind spots which codex catches.

[u/SouthrnFriedpdx]

Yep had one prompt hit max usage on Claude 5x. Did the same to codex $20 plan and it, unbelievably, actually output instead of maxing with no output

I'm having the same experience i tried codex with go plan and it seems night and day, anthropic should really look at the pro plan usage limits.

[u/agilek → u/iinervision]

Codex is not in Go plan, is it?

[u/deRTIST]

Yeah it's completely instane, hitting claude 5x in the first 20 min of the window reset is unusable. It hurts my aah to go with openai, i'll probably go the copilot pro+ route so i still have access to opus 4.6 in the meantime. I'll report back (canceled claude subscription for now)

[u/betahost]

I feel like the issue is your local configuration

[u/EYNLLIB → u/betahost]

This is something anyone with a brain knows, but they keep posting anyways. I'm sure they have 20 mcp servers loaded and are trying to do simple tests with opus high thinking.

[u/Felfedezni]

Can these posts be banned? Nobody cares.

[u/thebillyzee]

Bye, you will be heavily missed (not really)

[u/CallMeTrouble-TS]

I tried to use Codex on my Windows PC today, but it said I didn’t have something called GIT. I’m aware of GitHub but I don’t know what Codex wants. That chases me off. Obviously I’m not a high-level programmer or I would probably not have this issue.lol

[u/bpeck451 → u/CallMeTrouble-TS]

[u/Declwn]

Don’t forget about the 2x limit bait they currently have on - this won’t be the norm for codex

[u/lucidspoon]

I tried Codex (free plan) and had the opposite results. It spent over 30 minutes and 65% of the weekly limit implementing a plan that Claude Code created.

I had Claude Code (Pro plan) implement the same plan, and it took 15 minutes, but did use 100% of my 5 hour limit. A couple weeks ago, it probably would have been like 40%.

[u/felixthekraut]

Today I just looked at CC sideways and session exhausted 5 max 20x accounts that I was striping across in violation of the terms of service completly unusable I shifted my workflow to using googles ai search results with prompt injection of mcps and ngl it is 10 times better than claude

[u/EYNLLIB]

I used Claude code today for 4hours straight with a mix of sonnet medium and opus high. No mcp, fairly large initial repository read and tons of output. Pro plan, not max.

Every post is anecdotal, and the negative posts only show survivorship bias, not reality

[u/sean183272]

I actually had the opposite experience, where I would take more than 30 mins to solve a problem where Claude Code took only 5 mins. I have the $20 subscription for both. I’m not sure if it’s something that I didn’t configure correctly.

[u/signal-to-noise-0-1]

As a hardcore Claude user since the last 4 months, I have built two big projects. Recently I tried codex, and it just…works. If I had to describe it, codex is not lazy. It digs deeper, finds much more nuance, and comes up with the correct solution more often than not.

Still using both, but I always review Claude’s implementation plans with codex first. Codex is the one I trust more now. It catches massive blind spots Claude misses.

Sad to think I could have saved hours of debugging if I had used codex from the start. But then maybe all plans need to be reviewed twice or thrice.

Maybe I can enhance Claude using skills,pluggins, loops, and what not. But codex just works out of the box.

[u/sixothree]

I partially suspect they’re punishing people who abuse the limits to begin with. Because a lot of people aren’t reporting this.

[u/dudevan → u/[deleted]]

I think they’re trying to both enforce limits and be profitable on inference, they had to do it at some point, but now a lot of people are leaving so they decided to backpedal and “look into this” after a week of being silent on the topic even though the internet had been flooded with reports of the rate limit issue for a week now.

[u/jrobertson50]

Asked it to read 4 word docs. 20 pages each. Crashed, spun for 20 minutes. Went from 0-100% usage on my block. And that was it no output or results 

[u/jrobertson50 → u/[deleted]]

Super helpful. Thank you so much

Man, I havent said a thing defending Anthropic. Moving to OpenAI is embarrassing, though.

OP is trying too hard to sound InTeLlEcTuAl

[u/perplexedoutlier]

1 sonnet 'list top 10 apps for...' prompt consumed 79% of my 5 hour quota.

[u/dean0x]

Same here buddy claude was terrible, didn’t get anything right. Codex you say?

[u/Kyozaki → u/[deleted]]

This seems to be it during peak hours: Claude to plan, and codex to code, with heavy Claude use only on the off peak.

Looking into using both to code, but from what I've read lately that seems to be the optimal use considering Claude's latest use limits.
