I used $200 plan of codex ($20 than $100 than reached to $200): Before Astra launch: It was good and value for money, doing more work than claude. After Astra launch: It is useless, continue working for hours and not doing acceptable work. Quality of work decrease and also very less work done on $200 plan. I was stupid to upgrade my plan, also i got many banked reset and other reset but than i checked my calendar for completed work than i found very less completed work. I switched to claude than using $20 plan: used only opus 5.5: It is amazing because: same prompt and same work in codex took 1M context & also multiple compact context than provide me very bad results. claude used only 45% of context and did many things within a 5 hour window and used 10% weekly limits. If i used Astra than this will consume around 30-40% of $200 plan and also work may be done or not but work can be done with 2-3 extra prompts. If i used Sol than this will consume around 3-5% of $200 plan and this can do the work but needed multiple prompts. If i used Luna than this will consume around 1-2% of $200 plan and i have to make multiple prompts & do many work by myself. I already used same prompts and same work with Astra,Sol,Luna so i am expecting almost correct usages limit. codex working for hours and give a false feeling of getting more usages or working for more time but when you look for actual work done than this usages limits are worse, even with multiple free resets. currently, claude with Opus 5.5 used 10% of weekly limits and did 60-70% of work so i am expecting it to complete the work using maximum 30% of weekly limit of $20 plan.
