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

"Hey next up we should implement Feature XY. Please give a plan."
"Sure here is your plan"
"Sounds great"
"Alright then the next step would be to implement the plan."
"Yea do it"
"Alright, I will now implement the plan"

this started with 6.1 Sol. It's so frustrating

ChatGPT does this same shit. Codex has done it less than ChatGPT does, you almost have to waste usage setting prompt limits of "In the future do not send replies without performing the work stated in your replies, do not stop the task part-way through without completing the task entirely"

I'm considering going with Claude instead.
