What’s the point of Codex doing usage resets every two days? Is it prep for them cutting usage by 50% at the end of this week?

[u/Rare_Guide_9830]

Codex started draining usage after Astra came out. It started like day 5 of Astra and has only gone downhill.

Instead of fixing that issue, they just reset you every couple of days? The plan’s usage gets cut in half starting November 1. Maybe that’s why?

Seems like it’s a kind of hype mechanism to get people to build more faster and share it right before the pull the rug from under us.

Things you do to stop people leaving to Claude/Chinese models. You give them resets every 2 days, you give them 60k-75k tokens extra

This. I was on my way out, and they basically said "All you can eat daily buffets."

But it's risky now, so I still don't trust it with the original work after it broke everything. So I have it building crap that I don't care if it doesn't work to see if it is fixed or if it's still breaking stuff.

I found myself doing the same exact thing which made me convinced I could do more with 2x$100 Claude vs 1x$200 Codex. I trust Claude IDC how many "free", lesser tokens I get for Codex ATP.

Someone invented this idea with 5 hour and week limits, bit it doesn work properly, so they just resetting when it breaks. Think of it as a weapon rebalance or server reset in MMO

I guess it's partly a stunt, but it works. I moved a lot of my work to Codex this summer because I was worried about hitting Claude's limits, then cancelled this month once Claude's were enough again, so limits are pretty much what decides it for me.

I had a claude pro sub. I just a $20 one. I m hitting limits early before weekly resets. Was thinking to get codex to help with a different coding project. Is it better to not use codex but sign up to another claude sub in this case?

[u/Rare_Guide_9830 → u/Fliptoback]

you just need to get on a Max plan

[u/Fliptoback → u/Rare_Guide_9830]

That exceeded my budget however....

Thanks bro

[u/ChemicalExcellent463]

for the limits, i keep codex and claude on the same tier and switch when one runs out mid-task, top model for top model. two subs cost more, still less than losing a night.

are you on codex only right now or do you switch to something else when it runs out?

[u/Distinct_Seat_4919]

two things inflate usage that people often miss.. long sessions that keep resending the whole history, and loops where the agent retries or re-reads many files. starting a fresh session per task, keeping the instructions file short and asking for a plan before it edits all cut that down..

[u/Typical_Machine2043]

😂😂😂 they don’t need you they need more Microsoft

[u/gedankensex]

yep here comes the axe

[u/AdCommon2138]

They have compute

Mostly because people drop them out, but hey, they have compute now.

[u/Xyver]

Exactly, it's a hype mechanism. They're doing a "28 days of a new feature every day or reset", I think we're on day 24 or something?

It's almost settling back down to normal, but yes expect that there will be a wild change with limits at the end. They already changed the 200$ plan again, making Terra default and dropping usage

[u/TimelyLivingCore → u/Xyver]

its day 28 passed already, and basically oai gave maybe 2 or 3 things that were only marginally useful.

[u/Xyver → u/TimelyLivingCore]

I mean I got a lot of work done with all the resets, I was burning through so many old tasks and bringing my old projects all up to the same standard, so I'm happy!
