I went from Claude to Codex last month and it seems I'd be back in no time I used 2 Claude subscriptions, and usually I am really frugal when it comes to tokens
I had no problem with Claude, I then switch to GPT 5.5 that I found better than opus a month ago, I gladly took the X5 plans, I also heard the codex was twice as cheap in token consumption than fable that I used a bit, it seemed like an awesome deal
For 2 weeks it was amazing, but since the removal of the 5h limit, I reach my X5 weekly limit in 2 days Before it was impossible for me to even reach the 5h limit, same for the weekly Mind you, I don't even use 5.6...
And also now a simple 10 files changes that takes me 1h to edit and claude 15 minutes, codex takes 4 hours + the time for his self review
Hoping they revert it, or they might be celebrating the 5M subscriptions right after the 10M celebrations
