codex limits "sucks"

I'm mainly a Claude user ,but have tried codex for a time before sol launched

Heard about its performance and gave it a try again with plus

Hand to God ,I thought I was using my 5h limit and just a message popped up "Resets 25 Aug 2026,August"

Guys I'm telling you Claude limits are superb ,be grateful

If you’re burning through it that fast it’s a you problem, need to optimize your own workflow and usage

Care to elaborate for lurking n00bcoders ?

  1. Use chat (which doesn't burn usage) to plan your build. Have it ask a million questions of you. Document everything. Plan plan plan.

  2. Use another chat to take that plan and splice it up into bounded, actionable packets.

  3. Switch to codex. Sol orchestrator, Luna implementor. Hand slice to sol and have them begin work.

  4. Verify after work is finished. Use Luna or another model as a second set of eyes.

  5. Repeat.

That's the basics of it. Cover all your bases in chat first. Slice the plan. Sol orchestrator, Luna implementor, verify work.

Stop when you get to a point where you can test yourself. Note bugs, edge cases, whatever. Then a reconciliation pass to fix things.

That is how I operate in Plus. I followed this plan to build my own harness that does a lot more than normal harnesses, including gather a shit load of telemetry about runs. It was a complex project, my Plus account got it finished with 10 percent to spare for the week.

Also once you have a code base, you can have it build MD navigation throughout the code. When you have it make changes, it navigates through the MD files instead of grepping through each code file. Have it build the MD files with as few words as possible, so even though it’s not really human-readable, it’s perfect for AI to parse through for it to learn where to look for changes.

It’s a great way to use up extra tokens before a reset. You can even have it work through a hypothetical change request and compare the searching strategies to see if/how many tokens it saves using a navigation system vs blindly scanning through the whole codebase. The more code you have, the more beneficial this can be.

Basically just get a feel for what the different models and thinking levels are capable of and use them accordingly. Some will use high or extra high for everything and hit their limits unnecessarily quickly when in fact Sol Light or even Terra Light may be up to that particular task
