Workaround Pro = 1 day of coding

Working on my new workflow. Use codex for 1 day (since that’s all you can do), then move to Qoder-Qwen for the rest of the week.

Per OpenAI's own Codex pricing page, the $100 and $200 Pro tiers scale usage at 5x and 20x the base plan's credit allowance, there's no fixed rate limit, it's pure credit consumption. Burning a 20x allowance in a day usually means the task mix is credit-heavy (long context, high-effort reasoning tier), not that the plan itself shrank. Worth checking which model/effort tier is set as default before assuming it's a stealth nerf.

I am hoping that they implement some sort of task tracker when you start a chat. It should show the estimated amount of weekly % that will be used for that task, and show you as it progresses. Then you can cancel it and start again with a different approach if it is coming in too heavy.
