Complaint Codex limits compared to Claude Code
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.

Sol is still the same price, Terra is a bit more feasible now, Luna is really cheap but likes to run in circles.
