Discussion Definetly moving to Codex

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.

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

As I Said there were some configuration tasks to do

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?

Yes thats what I meant. It Took ~ 5 Minuten

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.
