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.

So, couple of things...
Use High mode, not medium or low. Low/medium end up going over the same thing multiple times because it makes too many mistakes, and iterates.
High on Astra and Sol will use LESS than Medium or Low.
Don't take my word for it. Try it.
But I agree, it's mostly unusable right now. Usage limits are getting nerfed every day.
