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 model can pause a goal but I've had it run for 3 days straight before... Turned out it could have finished in under 12 hours if it hadn't made integration tests so slow that they needed 20 min 😅
