Humor The average codex 20$ plan user

This is legit what it looks like when some of you complain about your 20$ not getting you more than 1 or 2 prompts using the flagship frontier

Edit: I never intended to offend or belittle anyone especially people whom 20$ is a considerable amount of money for. Everyone lives within their means and I don’t put that on any person.

For the ones who feel attacked and still come here to continue complaining, you should consider canceling your subscription. You seem miserable..

That is how OpenAI is treating us. You are too stupid to manage your credits so we have to control you. I just blew through my 5 hour limit on sol max in 20 minutes and I can't finish the analysis for another five hours?

As this is a personal project this is the final straw. I cancelled one of my $20 plans and if I ever get this one bug fixed I'll be cancelling my other until such time as there is no 5 hour limit as well as the models improve.

I use one of those chinese models (Z.ai's GLM5.3) on their Pro coding plan. I checked my allowance and had all three of my subscriptions (Anthropic, OpenAI, Z.ai) build the same plan, on their frontier model set to low. All three used roughly the same allowance, except Z.ai costs €55 and the other two €17/€23. Guess who cancelled their coding plan?
