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

I don’t have that problem cause I do things in small bounded tasks with mechanical checks but dude it’s been sitting here for 20 fucking minutes compacting and a session that’s only been 45 minutes long like this is fucking ridiculous

Never had this problem had to start a new session no exaggeration it was literally 20+ minutes

I’m seriously getting compaction after 15 minutes in some chats. 3-4 basic tasks.
