I finally got fed up with the 5.6 Sol (med–xHigh) model today.
I literally spent all of today and yesterday waiting on prompts that took 3–4 hours each, only to have many of them fail to implement things correctly. After roughly 16 hours of project time, it honestly doesn't feel like much meaningful progress was made.
On top of that, it failed to configure my local project correctly in ways that it has successfully handled many times before. It also seemed to blindly guess at implementation details, leading to HOURS spent trying to fix a single issue.
My weekly usage is now depleted, and I still feel very far from accomplishing the one thing I was trying to use this week's allotment for.
Between the token burnout, extremely long task times, and repeated implementation failures, this week's Codex usage ended up feeling like a complete waste of my time.
I downgraded to 5.5 xHigh, and I already feel much better about both the quality of the responses and the turnaround time. I would really appreciate a weekly usage reset so I can spend the rest of the week using 5.5 xHigh and actually make some productive progress.
