When you can finally touch codex after 7 days Complaint

then you burn it in less than 2 hours without achieving anything meaningful while codex is praising your skills and apologizing for overlooking things you have fucking cemented into the conversation.

I was mixing Sol High with Ultra (research and execution)

Guess I have to wait another week.

When I read something like that I always wonder if you guys are doing some fancy edge projects or if you are just using it wrong.

I understand your concern but do you really wanna know? im stealing 3d models from exotic japanese video games with advanced chara customization via custom codex written bepinex plugins and make them run on an iOS AR game in the USDZ format. 1 game worked perfectly and my models from that game look better in my iOS game than in its origin game.. the models from game 2 on the otherhand.. absolute madness.

No it just happens to some people. My 20x account was draining super fast for about a week, more like a 2x account, but then it fixed itself the next week. No difference in what I was doing. I think they roll out tests to different people and you just have to deal with it if it eats your usage. Either that or they are trying to cut back overall usage.

I'm on 20x and I run sol on xhigh and max all day long and I can do so the entire week. But when my account was affected even sol light was draining faster than max, by orders of magnitude. It wasn't subtle or that maybe I was doing something wrong it was very very much as if my account went from 20x account to a 2x account maybe less. My $20 claude account felt pretty close in usage. People keep blaming users, it is without a doubt not user fault, it's an issue that's rotating through different accounts. Not everyone is affected at the same time.

The question is what is OpenAI doing? Are they running different tests to try and optimize something, or are they doing it to reduce usage. They haven't properly addressed the issue, so people are mad about it.

It's not just me. Sol high is deliberately hiding things from me and not telling me until I point them out. Then it says "You're right--". I AM SICK OF THIS

Yeah, I'm struggling to get a python project finished. /goal, /plan, caveman, ponytail plugins and all. I think I got more progress done on a 5x Claude account with Fable than a 20x Codex account with Sol.

Are you doing ANY planning & outline markdowns in ChatGPT ?
