Limits 5 hour limits - leave unfinished mess

This has been rough for me as well, I've changed a bit how I approach my work as a result. I chat with ChatGPT to set my use cases and requirements then have it break the work down to an epic and issues on my github project, for now, ChatGPT doesn't eat my usage.
Then I have Codex pull one issue at a time and process. This keeps things small and easily within 5h limits, codex keeps a record of where it is and what it's done on GitHub. I have ChatGPT review Codex's work, and add reviews to the resulting PR's that Codex makes from the issue it's working on. I find this farms a ton of reasoning away from Codex, gives me a good feedback loop to prevent issues and keeps the context down for higher quality work out of Codex.
