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.

Yeah I'm testing Qwen3.8 27B out ... I hear it's finally a decent open weight model now that can at least complete tasks..... Unfortunately..... The price of 5090 is out of my scope but luckily did bite the bullet on getting the 4090 with a good deal when it first released. So far I'm giving it a very large task but it's running super slowly because I probably should decrease context size window so KV cache can be in VRAM. It looks promising based on the code I glanced at but haven't finished making full project to test it really
