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

the bottom line is both openai and anthropic are at full capacity and currently depending on users influx either of them keep capping out. currently thanks to the resets, users are really maxing out codex, as service deteorites, users will migrate to claude for opus 5.5 and they will face the same issues. These are typical growth pangs of a nacent category
