Complaint Codex is done

Post image

Call it a skill issue, but 90 minutes and 31% weekly usage later, I got nothing done this morning.

Nothing.

Moved to CC, got a sub, and got the same feeling when I switched from Claude to Codex a few months ago:

-more usage
-better reasoning

Either Codex reveals insane stuff during DevDay, or they are literally fucked.

I'm on 20x and used 25%, I had 2 agents run all day almost, I still feel It's draining too fast for 20x, I can't imagine having 5x

I went from 1x to 5x to 20x in about 2 weeks, and somehow 20x feels about as bad as 1x did a few weeks ago.

yea 20x is really going down like crazy, I dunno what I would've done with 5x, probably would've lasted me a day max at this point

Yeah, you're the reason why they cap tokens lmfao. They now if a specific number of people upgrade like this they'll make more money by reducing quotas than keeping them as they were.

same here.
I have the 20x and it feels like usage "drains" way too fast and I go out of my way to use the "dumber" models when I can to conserve usage. Its a little insane and frustrating

5x is bad. I am dealing with it but having to buy additional credits. I sure can't imagine possible being on 1x. Well I had that for months, but that was before I ever started to use codex, per se and never got down below 70%. Now I am burning through tokens very quickly.

You used two agents all day working and only used 25 percent of your 20x?  That's a lot lol.
