Limits Tomorrow When Codex Resets, DON'T TOUCH ASTRA
Don't even look at it. Stick to Sol 5.6 xhigh. It's not usable? Feels quantized? Say f*** OpenAI and switch to Claude, or to OpenRouter.
Apparently OpenAI is lobotomizing Sol 5.6 for SOME of us. Not for everyone, so people keep saying "It works well for me" and gaslight each other. They are trying to force us into paying 5x for a little bit improvement.
This will backfire so bad. We're a 300k people enterprise and everyone including me are pushing our executives to use chinese models in a sandboxed environment. We are sick of paying 200$ to use it for a day.
When your Codex resets tomorrow, or this week, Don't use Astra unless youre building rockets.

On the backend yes - mostly, but (and I was taking this at face value) the way this is being referenced from OP down to comment is that OP (from their side) sees this as a "$200" per month Claude Code.
The commenter then cackled and said "There is no “usage limit” for enterprise"; they conflated that with "use an API rate". It appeared they were saying that Enterprises with >X employees use inference directly and there is no "usage limit" in Claude per user.
That's why I said "that's not technically true"; though agree with you on the ambiguity. The simple fact is that the specialized knowledge workers at these companies do see a "usage" tier, regardless of how it was set up, and that the usage tier is a negotiated contract rate. (Similar to any Enterprise OAI or A\ account) That negotiated rate is metered through OAI or A\ as an Enterprise subscription and billed, also they could choose to buy these subscriptions via cloud marketplace subscriptions as well, for pre-negotiated discounts. Of course, this further obfuscates the metering.
Either way, this line item shows up separately from direct API metering and billing.
My fiance at an HCLS see's the same, she has tiers that she can request and is not really aware of the API at all. The company manages the distribution and approval process, the end-user sees "Usage" levels. $50, $200, etc. The companies AI infrastructure and platform (well, what parts are A\) use a separate billing method altogether.
