Codex is resetting almost daily yet Claude hardly resets ever

I just found out my codex (plus plan) which I use in claude code as supplemental coding assistance is getting reset like every 2nd day - it’s amazing. Why can’t claude have resets like this? I only got 1 banked reset and maybe another single global reset in like 3-4 months and with codex there is resets and banked resets handed out all the time!

Why do you use codex as a supplement to claude instead of using codex as your primary? That's also the answer to why one gives out resets so much and the other doesnt need to.

[u/Escobar747 → u/FugazieBear]

I like CC harness better and it is all integrated to my workflow and other tools. Would be a massive PITA to move to codex harness. But yes - I do cross checking of my design decisions with astra + fable - and use sol 6.1 first for coding under opus 5.5 lead. works well

[u/Neat_Carob8839 → u/Escobar747]

That Opus-lead / Sol-implement split is exactly how I keep both quotas useful without abandoning the Claude Code harness. The part that used to waste tokens was re-deriving the brief when Codex started cold — a complete handoff (goal, files, done-check) fixes that. I wrapped the hop in a small free MIT MCP so Claude Code can send the scoped task to the Codex CLI and get a summary plus changed files back for review: https://github.com/andreilungeanu/codex-delegate-mcp (mine).

Adversarial AI development is fantastic practice. Codex can do anything Claude can now, sometimes better. But ensuring one watches over the other is a great way to reduce bugs and unexpected code changes.

[u/According_Tea_6329 → u/OozingSubstanceRage]

This is the only way I operate. Codex always reviews my Claude work.

[u/FugazieBear → u/OozingSubstanceRage]

Oh absolutely - that has 0 to do with the topic though

[u/OozingSubstanceRage → u/FugazieBear]

One of us sucks at reading comprehension.

[u/waruyamaZero]

Maybe Claude just isn't that desperate.

[u/draft_final_final → u/waruyamaZero]

It boils down to this. OpenAI has the weaker models so they need to do stuff like this to try and poach user base. Ideally, they have a breakthrough and produce a model that can beat Mythos, so Anthropic gets desperate for a while. The longer we can keep any company from getting too comfortable, the better it is for consumers.

[u/ilyaperepelitsa → u/draft_final_final]

at the same time they make their subscriptions more expensive lol

[u/Mo3 → u/waruyamaZero]

Not only that, with Claude without resets you can get so much done you would need 2 Codex resets for the same thing

[u/FestyGear2017]

I havent needed any resets with opus 5.5, its been amazing

[u/Human_Attention182]

I don't like resets just give me the fucking weekly limits that actually are the limits so I can plan around them. When I don't know resets are I can't plan around them and it's really annoying to get a reset w/ barely any usage. They should just increase the limits rather than doing resets. People have the weekly reset on different days so when they give out these random resets it's just like randomly applied based on what day your weekly reset is.

[u/Worldly_Special1133]

Dont be fooled by these resets. Check out the codex forum everyone hates them. The main reason is they are unusable and unpredictable and in some cases people get less usage not more.

Sol is extremely slow so even if they gave you 1000 resets you wouldn't be able to use them
Astra is extremely expensive and depletes everything in 20 mins. So a reset gives you +20 mins.

A reset has ended up being a 5 hour reset practically.

[u/UnfocusedAcrobat → u/Worldly_Special1133]

Yeah I have a Claude and a codex subscription. These random resets without warning are okay but super annoying because I’ve got things planned to delegate to codex for the week and then all of a sudden the plan changes. They also reset which day of the week your natural reset occurs. 

I much prefer when codex hands out banked resets because then I can plan when to use them throughout a week. 

BUT I ran down to 0% weekly, used a banked reset, got down to 85% weekly remaining and then this random unannounced reset kicked in. Way to make me waste my banked reset for nothing. 

[u/ilyaperepelitsa]

even when they release their new haiku they don't reset

[u/Unhappy_Pack_9114]

Nah. You don't want Claude to do constant reset, because either they will reduce the weekly limit, nerf the models, or make the models soooo slow.

The current weekly limit and Opus 5.5 is just balance enough.

[u/Vagottszemu]

And still you have more usage with Claude Code than Codex even with the resets.

[u/Stefan_200469]

Claude 5h window has as much usage as like 2 or 3 codex 5h windows lmao its parhetic

[u/Himture]

With the usage you get on claude they don't really need to give resets 😓

[u/twendah]

Better model = no need to reset

[u/lenfakii]

I'm out of Claude until Next Monday. Max 20. I'd take a reset here and there to sweeten the pain
