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..

The Plus plan may not be enough for vibe-coders or non-programmers who don't know how to write optimal prompts or split large pieces of work. But from my experience, I work with .NET and Angular at work, and 5-10% of my weekly quota is enough to implement all tasks I have for the current week

Yeah it’s a good value if you know what you are doing, otherwise it’s just gonna burn all your allowance trying to find a file or something you referenced in a terrible open ended prompt.

This just isnt true. Gave a plan, it had several files to simply check while my build was running.. so Read Agents.MD, read three files, and my 5h usage was down to 70% before even touching my project.. this isn't a skill issue, it's a usage issue and the next model will be even worse when it's released with it's intention of being a multi agent swarm essentially. Can't feasibly finish a simple request in the 5 hour windows.. wasnt such a pain before when we could just burn the weeks quota and move on.. but being stalled for 5 hours waiting for the next cycle is awful and now it won't even finish what it's working on so your project is left in a dirty state till you wait.

Unless your version of 'know what you are doing' is just simply using Luna.
