I have been for holidays around 3 weeks. At home I use Codex (from 20 EUR sub) for a bunch of stuff and at work both Claude Code (Max 5X) and Codex (20 EUR sub). At work, I used to have the 5X plan for Claude but we recently got a change in our accounts and it defaulted to regular Pro (or however it is called) account for Claude Code. So I went back to work today and tried using Claude Code… It burnt 60% of the 5 hour limit with a simple prompt using Opus 4.6. I remember when Codex 20 EUR sub used to last me almost as much as CC Max 5X. Granted they have cut limits time and time again, but for Claude this is insane. I honestly don’t know how people are supposed to use the 20 EUR sub for Claude for coding. It’s a side toy that will do one small task every 5 hours. And this is using Opus. I don’t really know what Anthropic is thinking training models the size of Mythos when it can’t even deliver Opus reliably for a single week. If we keep following this path it will soon be back to writing code manually or at least back to using AI line by line auto-completion. submitted by /u/hatekhyr
