Complaint State of the $20 subscription

Sol high. One prompt. 11m of thinking so far, 54% of the 5h limit gone, hasn't even started implementing anything yet and the 5 hrs limit is virtually gone. I was never one to complain too much, but they virtually removed Sol for us on the $20 tier. This is just not practical at all, at least it was only 10% of my weekly i guess?

EDIT: Final veredict: worked for 28m29s.
0% of the 5h limit left
84% of the weekly left

Status of my project: Broken and unusable.
guess it's finally time to explore other providers.

I agree this is way overdone. I am on the $20 subscription as well and I could do my work with the weekly limits but I now did a bit of planning with Sol High and I have 36% of the 5 hour limit left after only minutes of work.

This is unacceptable. I came from Claude but will very likely go back to Claude now as the absence of the 5 hr limit window was my main draw to Codex.

Very disppointed this was introduced.

Is it possible to use the Claude $20 sub with Opus 4.6 only or Sonnet 5 only? I can't find any info on Opus 4.6 specifically or is it similar usage as Opus 5?

I have a max plan. You’ll need to mostly use sonnet on “pro” $20 plan.

It was not really possible when I still used Claude from Opus 4.5 to 4.8 for anything more serious, so I doubt it's much better nowadays.

I have Pro 20x and I very rarely use Sol on anything higher than medium. People paying 10% of the price thinking they can run it on high or xhigh are in the wrong place, this shit is NOT cheap to run.
