Ugh, people are still saying the Codex limits are more generous. They're not, Claude's are over 2x higher, have been for months! [1] It's just that Claude uses far more tokens, 2-3x is common. Except sometimes GPT will use just as many or even go into a compact loop and then your quota is gone, little headroom for hard tasks.

That website seems to suggest that Opus 5 spends ~57 cents per task, while GPT 5.6 Sol spends ~49 cents per task? That ratio doesn't feel quite right to me. Artificial Analysis says Opus 5 High costs nearly ~3x as much as GPT 5.6 Sol High for a given task: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/comparisons/claude-opus...


No no our coffee is not more expensive! The serving sizes are just smaller!


Yeah I subscribe to both and watch the numbers too, and it drives me nuts

Who wants to actually watch anyways, rather than worry about it my team just created our own harness that prioritize usage + intelligence and assigns work out (and records token usage..)

Still beta, please try it and give me feedback.


I don't get it. It's the same result.


> people are still saying the Codex limits are more generous. They're not

They are if you follow Tibo on the resets.


Well at the end of the day, I can finish more work with the codex limits.
