What about usage / quota?

Much better than Claude. I've never hit the quota on Codex. On Claude (Code), I used to hit it every other day before switching to Codex.

I've started hitting Codex quota regularly for the first time the last couple of weeks, so I feel like they might be tightening the screws on the $20/month plan too. Someone paying for Max might have to work at it to hit the quota

Yea, it's peak time. They don't have enough compute. Why do you think they are banning external subscription use. They sell subscriptions. They don't need people to use CC. That doesn't matter. And yet - they won't have people using their service outside of CC. Something is fishy.

Is codex a good alternative? Or does Claude have a moat...

Well this latest outage has me forming a position that a backup is mandatory. I've been using Codex for adversarial-review, so with this outage I'm now going to ensure the repo is tooled up to use both agents, and when an outage hits just switch over and keep going.

Seems to be a very regular occurrence starting around this time of day (14:30 UTC)... Claude Code returning: API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"---"} Over and over again!

After switching how is the code quality?

I literally just came to HN to ask if I was alone with the acurséd "API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"…"}" greeting me and telling me to get back to using my brain!

500-series errors are server-side, 400 series are client side.

A 500 error is almost never "just you".

( 404 is a client error, because it's the client requesting a file that does not exist, a problem with the client, not the server, who is _obviously_ blameless in the file not existing. )
