One of the shadiest things I've seen is how openai treats their weekly limit. They reset it whenever they want! So if you use 25% but then it's day 3 or day 4 of the week, you've used less than the pro-rata, they'll just reset the limit. Makes me incandescent that OpenAI would have these different rate limits that apply to you, but they can do whatever they want with your limit. It's just incredibly hostile treatment…

and now /fast will get you moving quicker but at a premium.

Really? So far I never reached codex limits, but every single day my Claude limits. And quality-wise codex is beating Claude already

I'm on a plus plan, not max. I probably would go through around 3 maybe 4 plus plans a week; I use glm-5 pro plan (from before they added weekly limits) a lot more.

I keep saying it because it’s true: I do an insane amount of work with my little $20/mo. ChatGPT Plus subscription and never hit limits. For me Claude (especially Opus) is not built for real work, no matter how good the model may be, because the limits are comically prohibitive. Which is a shame because I love their models, but their shadiness around usage is bad business.

I’m on the Plus plan too and never run into limit issues. It’s one of the main reasons I stay subscribed because I feel I get my moneys worth. I love Claude models but usually feel cheated after not using them (especially Opus) for very long before I’ve hit a limit and they’re bilking me for more.
