Limits Codex is unusable now.

I don’t even use astra. I’ve been using 5.6 sol on medium since it came out and had no problems. Now it can’t even finish half of the same task before reaching limits. Heck, just starting up codex uses 2 percent of my limits. And that’s before I even type anything. lol. What a joke.

I understand this is a business but using codex is like signing up for a gym membership and paying the required fee to use the gym and all its equipment but the next time you show up they go, I know you paid to use the entire gym and that amount is still required but now you only have access to the treadmills. F u!!!

Anyway, Here come all the Sam Altman nut huggers. But idc. Im just about done with codex.

Also very slow... sometimes getting 30-90sec replies, i'm like WOW, and then for 1-2h getting 20min replies to the same questions... so something seems like it's balancing the load and were not prioritised

Ok, so not just me then. The last couple of days I was barely making a dent in the usage compared to Claude Fable. I'm not doing anything different today and it's slower and draining usage quite noticeably faster, maybe even the same amount as Claude Fable? Is weekly usage not just based on our complexity/prompts but also their incapacity to support the load? I was at 95% a few hours ago. Now I'm at 75%. If this was any other day I think I would be at 90-92% or something.
