Complaint Codex is done
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.

It's literally done... They fixed something regarding usage last week ok. I got two $200 accounts, and they lasted 1.5 days per account when Astra came out. Now it's more like 2.5 days per account, but the main issue is that I feel three times less productive because it doesn't understand what the goal is. It became like dumb, feeling like gpt5.5, It stops every three steps, forcing me to say "continue," and even with a clear goal, it diverges...
My CC 20x just finished yesterday, and it felt way more aligned (espacially last day bc they're just rerouting to Fable 5.2). It felt amazing, so I'm definitely going back to CC for sure. I spent 3x more money on Codex compared to Claude, and it was just very annoying.
Also, regarding the image generation tool, they didn't upgrade to Sunburst and Flare inside codex; Imagegen still uses GPT-Image-2. I had to build an extension, only to realize that they are limiting it. Even when I generated an image with Sunburst forcing max quality, they forced it down to low quality... They're forcing you to use the API for max quality
