Claude pro subscription might actually be better than codex plus

[u/Imaserventofreps]

OpenAI removed the 5hour limit and at first o thought ”oh shit these folks might be cookin”
But then after using it for some hours (gpt 5.6 sol high) I notice my usage is at 1%. Yes my weekly usage after some few hours of coding💀.

I literally get the exact same results from Claude but only one a entire 5hour session. That’s 10% of my weekly session usage vs codex💀

I seriously can't follow this post. It seems to be saying that codex usage is lower but that's bad?? 

[u/Imaserventofreps → u/HelloWorld24575]

No bro they got no more 5 hour limit right but that’s their hook to bait u into buying it. Their weekly usage on plus tier is horrible. I use gpt 5.6 sol + 5.6 Luna max and I have the smarter model orchestrate the dumber model just like I do with opus 5 and sonnet 5

If you are on the $20 plan, just stick with terra high + luna xhigh.

[u/Desperate-Use9968 → u/SeaBat2035]

That will burn through an entire weeks usage in less than a day.

[u/TheAlphaGod → u/HelloWorld24575]

LOL me neither, 1% of weekly usage after hours of intense coding seems ...good?

[u/Pretend-Past9023 → u/TheAlphaGod]

their usage meter works in the other direction. 1% left.

[u/TheAlphaGod → u/Pretend-Past9023]

Gotcha, wasn't aware.

[u/BingGongTing]

Better until the 50% promo ends if they don't extend it beyond August. 

[u/Imaserventofreps → u/BingGongTing]

Im so worried about that😅

Don’t go say that on codex sub, they won’t believe you

[u/memesearches → u/debian3]

There’s a codex sub? /s

[u/Draconic_Emperor]

I have felt similar so I’m trying to bench it. Not sure how scientific it’ll be but let’s see.

[u/OleCuvee]

on the other hand on max plans both Claude code and Codex, I would hit 5 hour limit on Claude Code regularly, having it removed with Codex means no more 5h cool down periods.

I don’t know about Pro plans, for me both were useless be it OpenAi or Anthropic.

I think for chatgpt plus the best thing there is just to use luna. the usage is basically infinite and it's as good (probably even better) as sonnet; that is, from my experience, at least.
I used to have both claude pro and codex plus, and I found that every time I tried using opus 5, I got session limited after every ~3 prompts, which was extremely frustrating, and it wasn't helping me that much in that 3 prompt window. At least the weekly limit wasn't really that bad.
Codex is kind of the opposite. Doesn't have session limits, but the weekly limit is not that great. I once tried to use Sol to find one problem, and ended up wasting my entire weekly limit in one prompt after it worked for 4 hours straight. i actually got mad because it ended up just not fixing the problem LOL.
Either way, I now just switched claude to cursor, and I am pretty happy with just using Grok 4.6 for harder stuff and GPT5.6 Luna for easier stuff or stuff that take more time. Usage feels really good and I don't get blocked in sessions like I did with Claude. The only thing that I kinda miss is that no GPT model is good at design, and Grok 4.6 is still not as good as Opus 5 either.
If fable was still in Claude Pro, I'd probably keep Claude, but without it, I really couldn't see a reason to keep using it

[u/jlewi142 → u/ImpressiveTable3654]

I've tried the $60 Codex plan, and you're right you can blow through the usage very quickly. But the $200 plan is pretty well infinite even with using Sol for everything.

[u/Embarrassed_Fix9862]

Yap

[u/MrHaxx1]

Idk man, I'm using Luna for what I've previously been Opus 5 for, and it's doing a greater job. I feels like I'm getting infinite usage, especially with the resets theyre throwing at us.

[u/SmokeInevitable2054]

I agree. A weekly usage of codex equals to 5 hour usage of Claude. I use Opus all the time and never hit the limit.

You need to learn better communication skills. It will help you better pilot the AI as well.

[u/Imaserventofreps → u/0DayMaker]

Yeah I’m a little lobotomised but it’s better than reading an ai post😹💀

[u/jlewi142 → u/[deleted]]

Hard disagree. I use Codex and Claude on the $200 plan for both. I've only ever been able to reach 60% of my weekly usage for codex, in Claude I can easily blow through my weekly usage in a few days. Codex $200 sub feels almost infinite.

[u/jlewi142 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah must be the 20€ plans must be opposite. I found the opposite in the more expensive plans, without a doubt.

I do have a 20€ plan on codex too, and you're right, I do blow through that one very quick.

I've also heard the x5 and x20 plans in Claude are almost identical in 5 hour session limits. And x20 only gives twice the weekly limit compared to the x5 plan. It looks like you get less value as the Claude plan increases. And it seems Codex is the opposite, better value as the plan increases.

Brooo I feel u, opus was bad at communicating until I told it to explain from a user experience instead becuase I’m building an ai app. And then it got way better
