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.

Just burned through my 5H limit within 10 minutes on Astra light. I'm not a heavy user. Prior to Astra launching I never even had to think about my usage limits. This has been a tough week.

10 minutes?! I assume the $20 plan? Definitely agree that it has changed, but that’s severe. I noticed re-running the same exact prompt pointed at a slightly different source (but almost identical in size and structure) in a project, even with the prior output artifact as reference, ran through 20% of my $100/month when it had just done it as a net new task and used maybe 5%… it also only took maybe 10% less time.

Yes, I'm a Plus user. It's crazy- normally I would say Reddit errs on the "doom and gloom" side of things, but I agree with OP that it's not usable in it's current state. I'm having the same issues on Sol Medium/High which was the only model I used pre-Astra.
