I ditched Claude Code $200/month a couple of months ago in favor of Codex $200/month. The value is night and day.

1. No 5 hour usage limit

2. Weekly usage gets reset CONSTANTLY. It's crazy. The longest I've ever seen it go without a reset is maybe 5 days?

3. I don't feel like OpenAI is constantly trying to fuck with me. Unlike Anthropic. I would way rather have Sol all day every data, consistently, than a slightly better Fable for like, 1 prompt every 5 hours, and only when Anthropic decides to not treat me like a cyber criminal. Believe in yourself as much as Claude believes your CRUD app is going to hack the pentagon.

4. Getting access to image generation, though I don't use it too much, is a nice perk compared to Anthropic.

edit: Should mention that I had like 4 banked manual resets as well. It feels like OpenAI wants me to use their product, whereas Anthropic wants my money while giving me a nerfed experience

This last reset took 6’ish days. I know because I was almost out of limit.

I have used Fable heavily on the lower Max plan and you are really exaggerating the limits here. I've had many multi-hour sessions with Fable on Max.


Maybe you use AI differently than me


What are you doing that uses the entire Fable credits so quickly? Genuine question.
