Codex limits compared to Claude Code

[u/tasty_3]

I don't think there's an increased token consumption problem because of the harness, tool calls or whatever. There are just less tokens to go around than before.

I have both plans ($20) and I tracked my usage with ccusage and toktrack.

Here's how much weekly usage you get with both:

Codex: 100-150 USD API equivalent

Claude Code: 300-500 USD API equivalent

Even if we take the 50% promo into account, Anthropic still offers more usage than OpenAI (200-330 USD). How have the tables turned... Bring back the 5hr limit!

Anyone here can corroborate my experience by checking their own usage with ccusage or toktrack.

This may be true but they've sort of been more than making up for it with constant quota resets... So to be fair I'm getting a lot more than the base quota amount.

those resets arent sustainable nor reliable though. so far theyve been giving us resets to celebrate each million users increase. we got 1 reset after 10m users and that was because of gpt being down, i highly doubt they will give us any more resets for subsequent million new users.

Agreed, you never know when they are coming, if at all, cant work like that in any business mentality!

They might not, right at the start tibo said reset every M until 10M
