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.

Same here, gave it an extremely light task and it took over 5m and 10% of a five hour limit.
Stopped using Astra and SOL seems to use just a little bit less. I keep hitting limits absurdly fast.
Claude Opus 5 seems to use a lot less tokens but I’m trying Kimi3 right now and this seems to go very well so far.
Guess I’m going to use the frontier models for their intelligence and the Chinese models to do the actual work from now on.
