One thing I’ve noticed. I had a clean set up for Claude to look at which specific files to edit, it was fine. Yesterday the bastard started reading 10+ irrelevant files and scanning through them like it was a speedreader in an international championship. I was a “doubter” as some here say, but I don’t know anymore. It’s like it was forced to purposefully burn tokens in a barrel fire just because it can. I tried Codex free. I only tracked percentages, not actual tokens. Claude burned 10% roughly per prompt for its weekly usage (on the PRO plan), Codex burned 10% the weekly limit with a very similar prompt on the FREE plan. Clearly, token wise Codex wins no doubt. I might be migrating. submitted by /u/Minkstix
