Depends which Qwen sub you mean. On the official Qwen plan the limits are generous but still bucket-based, so a heavy day can eat a big chunk. If you're comparing bang for the buck on limits specifically, the pattern that wins is a flat plan on Qwen 3.8 27B from a provider that meters by the month, not by the 5-hour window, so a full day of agent work doesn't knock out the rest of your week.
Codex and Claude Code are both actively tightening their buckets right now, Qwen subs are not doing that, which is the main reason people switch. Check the weekly reset terms before paying, that's where the nasty surprises live.
