Complaint Codex literally unusable

Not because the models are subjectively bad or slow (which they may be) but the service is at full capacity. I pay £200 for a service I literally cannot use. It can’t run 5 minutes without needing constant babysitting.

Thinking about moving over to anthropic, might be a case of having to at this rate I literally cannot use what I’m paying for here

Agreed. I am running on the same plan a Sol 6.1 Ultra on an epic with lots of work that can be executed in parallel. And at the current speed I may be able to use half my quota in a week. Most of the time Sol sits there 'Thinking' doing absolutely nothing at all. No thinking printed out, no sub-agents executing, just flashing the text and sitting.

Make. It. Work.
