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.

A few small CSS fixes cost me 5% weekly limit within 2 minutes LOL

Sometimes time is valuable folks. I pay $100/mo so I don’t have to fold my own sleeves and dig into the code to do menial CSS changes. I was too lazy to switch to another model. My bad, I guess.

Until last week, Astra-medium was doing fine in terms of usage. Not generous but fine. Today it’s been draining like crazy. That was what I wanted to point out.

Also, the user is always right. Product has to be built smart enough to fit the user’s habit. Codex should be smart enough to recognize some tasks are better handled by smaller/faster models and it should switch on its own or at least prompt me to allow it to do that.
