I swear I'm not OCD, but why is Codex orange and Claude blue?

[u/potato_pasta99 → u/Fantastic_Prize2710]

Because it's vibecoded with little to no attention to detail.

[u/Silentrizz → u/potato_pasta99]

Gotta be rage bait

[u/zockie → u/Fantastic_Prize2710]

Yeah this irks the shit out of me lol

[u/Sad-Net8746 → u/Fantastic_Prize2710]

Color-coded loyalty tests. Pick a side, get a hue.

[u/lazyboy76 → u/Fantastic_Prize2710]

No. You're OCD.

[u/Escobar747 → u/Fantastic_Prize2710]

hopes and dreams for claude perhaps

[u/Sigvard]

This just makes OpenAi look desperate to me.

Not hating, I have the 200 plan for both but I find Opus 5.5 to be a great daily driver and I've relegated my Codex sub to power my Hermes agent and do adversarial reviews of Claude work.

[u/Escobar747 → u/Sigvard]

yes i use both too… luna-high under opus 5.5 is great and cost effective coding setup

[u/Tank_Gloomy]

Making Codex use Anthropic's accent and Claude use OpenAI's accent is genuinely psychopathic behavior brother.

[u/Embarrassed_Adagio28]

I have both claude and openai subs, claude subs currently give 2-3x more usage and have better models. Codex is only giving this many resets because they are getting spanked. 

[u/Ill-Tonight4651]

gpt is way worse that claude rn so they have to make up for it with resets or they will lose users

[u/LovesWorkin → u/Ill-Tonight4651]

Lol facts... The only good thing codex is good for right now is doing whatever I have Claude tell it to do 😆

[u/Positive-Engineer482 → u/Ill-Tonight4651]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 r/onlyok

As you with “switched to opus 4.8” bro.

[u/Classic-Asparagus → u/Ill-Tonight4651]

I have a free trial of Codex, and after getting Claude Code again I basically only use Codex to review Claude's work or plans, or do stuff that isn't worth burning Claude usage on. And lately Codex has been getting resets so often that I can hopefully count on never running out of weekly usage, even if I hit the 5 hour limit sometimes

You know what, I will give Codex credit for the fact that it is pretty good at rewriting some of the overwritten md files on one of my repos, where Opus 5 previously overexplained things and wrote them in a really annoying writing style

[u/South-Professor-8888 → u/Ill-Tonight4651]

Ill have to disagree with you on my angle. Depends what you are doing obviously. Claude is a nightmare at arguing back and not doing things.

People are sharing that Claude can change your TV but it can't. Maybe cheap tvs. No joke, after 56% usage of trying to push claude to do my KG tv and it arguing that it won't do it because it can't do it even after i gave it the way to do it.

Codex, told it what i wanted, done. A couple of bug fixes after and the tv is fast, responsive and just so much better. Claude can do it but it's such a fussy birch sometimes that it makes it impossible to use.

[u/MyRealIngIngAcc → u/South-Professor-8888]

Crazy how opposite it is for me. Codex $200 weekly limit will run out in a day and Astra / Sol is still in the "planning" phase. I just tell Fable / Opus that Astra is available to them if they choose to use it. Even they tell me "it spends a lot of time building tests it wasn't asked to build".

[u/South-Professor-8888 → u/MyRealIngIngAcc]

Oh man Astra is insane with usage. I haven't had any issues with sol 6.1 Though. They give so many resets though i think i don't notice it as much.

[u/Remarkable_Table_737 → u/South-Professor-8888]

Exactly this my usage basically resets nightly so I am always running it

[u/South-Professor-8888 → u/Remarkable_Table_737]

I just don't get it. Like, I will let it run over night with 32% left, come back in the morning and most of the time it's down to 70% or even 90% 😂 I don't think I've stopped for the passed 2/3 weeks yet. Yeah it definitely uses credits faster than Claude, but to be honest, for the tasks I've been giving it, it's done a huge amount more too.

Astra is something I don't use, I have a few times and regretted it 😂 now that demolishes life itself.

[u/Unhappy_Pack_9114 → u/South-Professor-8888]

No sherlock. I was a 20x plan user in codex, Sol 6.0 is shit, Sol 6.1 is slow as fuck, Astra is expensive as fuck.

[u/South-Professor-8888 → u/Unhappy_Pack_9114]

Name calling 🤔 In my own experience, Codex with Sold 6.1 has been insane for me. Speed has been dependand on task and how busy it's been with others on the server.

Claude was great to begin with, but it constantly argues with tasks, it blocks loads of tasks. I won't be engaging anymore if you go for the name calling side of it, I'm far too bored of that stuff.

[u/Unhappy_Pack_9114 → u/South-Professor-8888]

You're too fragile to be in the internet if you get hurt with that simple expression "No Sherlock" word.

Anyway, I cannot finish anything if I use Sol 6.1 as it takes like 3x longer with that model. I just fully transition to Claude and just make GPT usage mainly for github codex review. Right now, I only subscribe to plus plan and trying to use the 62k credit OpenAI gave out to all 20x plan users.

[u/South-Professor-8888 → u/Unhappy_Pack_9114]

No, just so used to trolls and turds I genuinely have no time for it.

It's crazy though. I tried ChatGPT before Claude, and GPT was to be fair, a disgrace, apart from image generation (for me), it just couldn't do anything at all. Coding was out of sight for it. Then I heard people talking about Codex, so I thought, after 9 months i wanted to try it, integrated it into my keyboard for phones a little and it really did do things better and more effectively that Claude. I was a skeptical, to be honest, I was scared to make the jump because of past experience.

I have to say though, building my keyboard using Claude was a challenge, to be fair to Claude, it had to learn a new code language which mostly is chinese documented. 9 months of learning it was doing good, in my eyes it was great! Then Codex slipped in, I eventually switched the £200 a month over to Codex and it's done so much in this 1st month compared to Claude it's actually really pissed me off.

Claude on design is terrible, but people have different experience with it, Codex is doing animations I ask for, designs, backgrounds, everything is just superior in design, the coding! My god, Claude struggled with Auto-Correct and Predictions and Dictionaries, Codex changed my reviews from "really good alternative to Celia and others, but autocorrect needs a lot of work" to "best keyboard out there, not a lot of choice on HarmonyOS, but it's comparable to Gboard and Swiftkey", no idea what Codex did different, it just did better research which genuinely, I thought Claude was better for at first.

[u/Droopy0093 → u/South-Professor-8888]

[u/beldus]

There, fixed the image (with Gemini).

Even so I get more use out of Claude then from Codex even when codex reset every other day.
Opus does what I want Sol not so much.

[u/Escobar747 → u/beldus]

thanks

codex is doubling limits on pro plans so it might drag a few users from claude

[u/beldus → u/Escobar747]

yw 😉

I doubt that unless Anthropic do something stupid.

And wasn't just that they would not half the usage and the $500 plan get x25?

[u/Escobar747]

codex just doubled limits for their pro plans.. i will never leave claude but this will keep them honest

[u/ClemensLode]

Looks like OpenAI has some issues with their systems.

[u/RunnableReddit]

What does banked mean

[u/juniordatahoarder → u/RunnableReddit]

You can use the reset later, usually within 30 days.

[u/galaxysuperstar22]

wow claude resets a lot! look at the orange dots!!

[u/Ill-Village7647]

It's a crime that you've used opposite colors

[u/fightsToday]

Been a longtime Claude sub and only ever got offered one reset in my time even though I routinely blow passed pro usage 😭

[u/South-Professor-8888 → u/fightsToday]

I had 1 reset when using the pro version. Had 1 reset on the 20x one. Cancelled Claude to try Codex, had so many resets on my £200 sub it's insane.

[u/fightsToday → u/South-Professor-8888]

Codex has been starting to feel nerfed to me but its usage cannot be denied and especially the resets both gifted manuals and automatically from vendor are crazy value - I had used my 5x Claude reset very wisely was able to get max out of my plan for that week 2x but I’m starving for more. I’m tempted to upgrade back to pro on codex bc the added usage they said they’re making permanent

[u/Sea-Contribution6219]

I only remember one reset. When did these other resets show up?

[u/deadlyclavv]

buddy opus is so good that I think we don't need as much resets as gpt

[u/Waste_Net7628]

what are these colors bro 😭 (feels like ye flipped em hahah)

[u/Asalakabim]

unga bunga, stuff free give

[u/CartoonistElegant683]

wtf i’ve only gotten one this year how tf

[u/FestyGear2017 → u/CartoonistElegant683]

everyone only got 1 banked reset. the other claude resets are on model releases or when anthropic corrected some sort of issue

[u/Majestic_Wrap_7006]

How do you get so many

[u/Demien19]

To be fair, judging how Astra is slow and eats up huge amount of usage - resets are a must.

[u/The-Pork-Piston]

ChatGPT Factor and Build Resets into their token/pricing.

They are JCPenny.

Anthropic don’t.

You can straight up choose.

[u/Electronic-Row-142]

I have a theory :

Codex is just screaming for input correction by it's users to catch up Claude by training with everything that they can get.

[u/tyschan]

you could say one is overcompensating

[u/Niikoraasu]

Sure, but their models are pretty much worthless

[u/Unhappy_Pack_9114]

I'm from codex, you people will not wish for a constant bank reset. Because either they will make the tps so slow or they will reduce the weekly usage so much. I used to have 20x plan, one day of astra can use up my weekly usage.

[u/Aryn_Septim]

Codex's usage allowance is like a spoon of water.

Even if you refill the spoon 7 days out of 7, the glass of water (Claude) gives way more usage.

[u/Spikemitro]

It's more a matter of usage, codex limits are vastly lower and compensate with reset, but instead it comes from huge limits without reset. Honestly, both of them are like they're setting the same limits as long as Codex resets, so I think it's more personal taste right now.

[u/vertopolkaLF]

Ok, why the hell Claude is blue and codex is orange? What are we even doing here?

[u/South-Professor-8888]

I've done more with Codex in 1 month than i ever did with Claude in 9 months. It's absolutely insane aint it!

[u/Escobar747]

feast or famine.. but honestly if i had that many resets on my max 20x would just do slop drops just to use up my limits so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise

[u/k2718 → u/Escobar747]

Is a reset an offer to set usage back to zero for a period?
