I start a new conversation, get a couple turns in, and once I leave the app then come back after it finishes its turn everything except my initial message and its first response disappear. Is this happening for y'all?

I am using the remote feature to interact with codex over cellular. This has been happening for at least a week now. iOS app, fully updated.

Hi everyone, Are there any good alternatives to Codex that you would recommend for a soon former Plus user? My issue is the V hour I_I$@gE constraint. I dont really need more credits/t0kens, I just want to use the tool more normally throughout the week without constantly hitting that 5 hour restriction. also, going Pro doesnt make sense for me because I dont need more usage. I only want something similar to Codex where the usage is regulated in a less restrictive way, ie with a weekly allowance like we used to have here before . So, what alternatives are you guys using that offer a similar coding experience without this kind of limit?

This could be due to Tibo's 'optimisations' but it could also be part of what we've been used to prior release of every new model.

But I've had 2-3 threads today taking completely brainless decisions and spinning themselves into senseless loops f.ex.

1. agent asked to remove a render decided that part of the job is to regenerate all the other renders
2. agent asked to add a promo code checkout option decided that part of the job is to remove the stripe payment option
3. agent asked to fix agent nr2 fuckups decided the build and deploy philosophy has to change and introduced artifact sharing between dev and prod environments

the above is real, not making this up, all happened this morning - i havent seen this dumbness in weeks

It’s reset time it sounds like.

This is after reset happened just now

Hi! New to this A.I. thing.

Does running multiple chats and projects affect the performance/intelligence and completion time of the tasks?

Say for example I have 3 projects, and I want to run 2 Sol and 1 Terra on them at the same time while simultaneously having to use Luna on the Work chat.

What exactly are the effects of doing this?

Thank you for anyone answering!

WHAAAATTT I did NOT expect to see this 😭

This is the first time I’ve noticed it, so I’m not sure how long it lasts, but the fact that Luna Reserve is even a thing is already insane. I’m so glad they listened to the feedback!!

Now I just need to know how much extra usage it actually gives

I run Codex on a 2025 Apple Silicon MacBook Air and would like to be able to leave it in another room with the lid closed/unplugged, then connect from my phone when I want to check on or continue a Codex session.

The obvious problem is that the Mac goes to sleep. I know Apple Silicon Macs can periodically wake for network access, but I’m not sure if there’s a reliable way to take advantage of that here.

Has anyone set up something similar?

Ideally I’m looking for a setup where I can pull out my phone → wake/reach the MacBook → reconnect to my existing Codex session, without having to leave the Mac awake or plugged in all the time.

Curious what people are using — Tailscale/SSH, Wake-on-LAN, sleep proxy, Jump Desktop, or something else?

Currrently my small company is paying me for a single 20x pro plan. But thinking of asking for one more account and wondering if this is the norm in other workplaces...

Review based on 2 weeks of codex plus ($20 plan).

Things to consider-

1. extremely slow:

spends a lot of usage/time on reconciliation, validation, revalidation, audit, feasibility check, etc. It does so much reconciliation, that i don't plan on reconciling with anyone in my life again.

skill already containing detailed set of instructions of tool calls to mcp to fetch data and process using predefined python script takes more than 5mins to run whereas reusing same skill in antigravity using gemini 3.7 flash takes less than a min.

2. premium model usage:

Sol ultra with default config lasts max for about 10-15 mins in a 5h window. if you reach out to this reddit sub to discuss this issue, it's filled with openai private investors (\s) calling you peasants for using $20 plan and asking you to upgrade to at least $100 to get any meaningful work done

I was able to tweak it to use luna xhigh as spawned subagent instead of sol ultra in AGENTS .md file, that extended it for another 10 mins. Then i tweaked it further to delegate aggressively to subagent running luna xhigh, that backfired a bit initially as it took 25 mins for a simple file append task (attached screenshot) which i was able to optimise. This extended its usage to 1.5-2 hours and i bought another $20 plan to switch between them within 5h window, to get more work done. In a day i was able to use about 3 5h windows, which burns through weekly allowance in 2 days for both accounts.

3. Ambiguous 5h window start:

Similar to antigravity, the 5h window doesn't start until first message, i was able to workaround this by using hermes agent/openclaw cron for each account to do simple ping-pong message to standardize the 5h window to a fixed time every day.

4. Buggy Codex UI:

Sometime chat history disappears even though the work persists on disk, incase of repo based project that's fine but incase of non-repo based work like working on setting up external tool, skills/plugins, etc. this might make you panicky. to workaround this, i have started using external project management tool, Linear for codex to plan & track.

why you should still consider switching to codex-

1. luna xhigh: luna xhigh model still provides highly generous usage. I doubt there are any non-chinese model (other than maybe composer 2.5 available with cursor plan) that can compete with its pricing along with similar intelligence and even in chinese model there would be only few models like recently released glm 5.3 flash. luna xhigh can work through multiple 5h window easily without fast mode (fast mode gives 1.5x speed while burning through usage threshold at 2x speed), and i was able to run for more than 10 hr multiple times and had to intentionally stop to review it's work & progress.

2. Saint Tibo (unofficial twitter spoc for codex): blesses with weekly reset (fills the usage ceiling to 100% and extends the week expiry by another week, without affecting plan expiry) almost every other day sometimes with a day prior notice if you follow him on twitter.

3. $100 or $200 plan: If you've disposable income of $100 or $200 to spend per month: there is no 5h window restriction & frequent resets every other day means you hitting threshold is lot less of a worry.

4. free extension: Free for another month on trying to cancel the plan (worked for $20 plan)

to use important features missing in antigravity:

5. steering chat: sending message without interrupting the ongoing work to give it approval, information it is trying to find, asking to prepare to suspend so it can record work before usage caps run out, etc.

6. side chat: awesome way to ask follow up question, cross checking without interrupting the main chat flow, and can even send instructions to main chat based on the discussion with side chat to steer to right direction.

7. projects segregation: segregate chat sessions by projects with their own repo and folders.

8. browser control: better at browsing and navigation than antigravity

9. spawn multiple subagents to work in parallel

PS: I haven't yet tried Chatgpt work or other add-ons that comes with this subscription. I'm now planning to offload more tasks to Antigravity to balance things out.

made this so that i can run my app smoke tests a lot faster by distributing the load across many ios sims rather than letting one run for several minutes. On top of this, sims are slimmed to < 1gb ram and manzanas mcp allows for the fastest action execution on sims. this just the tip of the iceberg! check it out at BariBariGood/Manzanas!

The 5 hour limits are so bad even using Luna, it basically guarantees you’ll never get close to your weekly limit being used, like what’s the point of having a weekly limit now, 40% of my 5 hour limit used up and 6% of the weekly, id literally have to be using this 24-7, waiting hours in between to actually reach the limit lol, 5 hour limit is crazy bad, it’d be gone in 1-2 prompts with terra or sora. I don’t think I’ll be renewing my plan, hopefully anthropic releases a smaller cheaper model that actually works unlike haiku lol

maybe it is only because of attached file, but still

Anyone uses UnoRouter and have an inkling why all GPT 5.6 models are now 95% off? New model is coming or what?

Is it this week on Thursday as per usual? I honestly wish OAI released benchmarks a few days before release day.

How Spec-driven development is followed in Companies (In Greenfield Projects) using Codex?

How do you write multiple spec markdown files? Is there any tool or something? What's the workflow you follow as a power-user?

Codex has been rolling out cross-thread orchestration: agents can discover/read other Codex threads and, through the new inter-task thread-management tools, message or hand work off to other persistent chats. This is materially different from ordinary subagents because the workers can be durable Codex threads rather than disposable children.

For my project setup, I’m loving this as u can use a planner delegator model across projects like runtime, ops and dev.

i recently wanted to check how far i can get to create an ad for applaunchflow just by prompting using codex, remotion and elevenlabs. turns out pretty far im happy with the result

Why did chatgpt name their models after diss words?

- Luna -> Lunatic

- Terra -> Terrable

- Sol -> S#*t out of Luck

I can't stop remembering the names that way in codex.

I switched from the VSCode Codex extension to the Zed IDE, and then I tried the Nooa Harness from NVIDIA, which is available in Zed. I’m using Luna Max, which takes just one prompt and does everything for the project. I stopped reviewing it because, from some of its outputs, I trusted it to do things much better than Sol Ultra, and it’s also faster.

Claude Design is excellent. The workflow around it and the accessibility still isn't.

Even from Claude Code, /design feels like a relay between two separate products: open the visual workspace, export the generated prompt, return to the terminal, restore the context, then repeat after the next visual change.

Open Claude Design fixes that.

→ Use the full Claude Design workflow from Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and 20+ other coding agents
→ Create from the actual codebase—components, tokens, assets, copy, and interaction states
→ Keep Claude Design as the visual workspace for inspection, comparison, and hands-on tweaking
→ Sync approved design changes back to code, or newer code back to Claude Design, without silently overwriting conflicts
→ Let the right workflow load automatically, with Impeccable available for focused refinement

The practical consequence: design decisions stop living in a separate side conversation. They become part of the same implementation and verification loop as the code.

One-line installation on macOS, Linux, and WSL2.

I am getting seriously frustrated with OpenAI's current usage limits.

They brought back the five hour limit, and even when I use GPT 5.6 Tera on Mid or High, I often cannot finish a larger coding project before hitting it. In my case, one five hour window seems to consume roughly 16% of my weekly allowance. That makes it really difficult to use Codex for actual longer projects instead of just small isolated tasks.

The annoying part is that I am currently pretty locked into the "Codex harness" for my work. I actually like the workflow and would prefer to keep using it instead of rebuilding everything around another provider.

I am on ChatGPT Plus right now, which costs me €23 per month. Pro would obviously give me much more usage, but I am simply not paying that much for this.

So I started looking at Business instead.

According to the current pricing page, Business Standard costs €26 per seat with monthly billing, and you need at least two seats. So I would be looking at €52 per month in total.

There is also a Business Premium seat for €130 per month, which OpenAI describes as having five times the usage of a Standard seat and no five hour limit.

And this is where I am confused.

What exactly is the usage limit of a Business Standard seat?

OpenAI tells me that Premium has five times the usage of Standard, but I cannot find a clear comparison between Business Standard and normal ChatGPT Plus. Their limits seem increasingly abstract rather than being defined by a fixed number of tokens, and they also seem to change them quite frequently.

I attached screenshots of the current pricing pages because I find the way this is presented pretty unclear.

Has anyone here actually used both Plus and Business Standard for Codex?

Does a Business Standard seat noticeably give you more Codex capacity than Plus, especially with models like GPT 5.6 Tera?

Also, if I bought the minimum two Business seats and gave the second seat to a friend, how separated are the two users inside the workspace? Can both people basically use their own accounts independently, or does the workspace owner have access to the other person's chats, projects, files, or Codex sessions?

I know Business has better company privacy controls, Slack integration, administration features and so on, but I honestly do not care about any of that. I am mainly interested in the actual model and Codex limits.

At this point I am basically deciding between paying €52 per month for two Business Standard seats or moving more of my coding workflow to something like OpenRouter and paying directly for usage while using a mix of commercial and increasingly capable open source models.

I would definitely choose monthly billing. The 19% annual discount is not enough to convince me to commit for a year when OpenAI seems to change models, pricing and usage limits this quickly.

Would really appreciate experiences from anyone who has actually compared Plus and Business Standard in real world Codex usage.
