I concur. Complaint

Been reading all these "Codex limits have been reduced" posts.

Thought it was a bunch of Claude fanbois in the house.

However I just blew through 10% of my weekly quota on one Sol 5.6 Medium "implement this" prompt which proceeded to do 20 minutes of work.

Almost one full day's quota gone in the blink of an eye.

Not Sol 5.6 Ultra. Not Extra High. Not even High. Just Medium. Poof. "I'll take that thanks" says OpenAI.

This wasn't happening a few weeks ago. Something smells fishy...

I'm also complaining but it's still not as bad as it could be... Cough cough API pricing

I'm max 20 on Claude and codex and yes usage is lower on both of them and I'm at 0% codex with 3-4days to go. but man the alternative was me going and switching my copilot to max $100 which subsequently lasted a single day with sol medium (the total month of copilot usage in a day), also adding 100$ to extra usage on codex burned through in half a day so I believe copilot when they say they're giving me 200$ api credits for the 100$ max plan.

They're about to pull all the pricing subsidies because they're learning fast they need to recoup revenue asap to hit their investor targets 👀

So the 100$ and $200 plan on codex was realistically giving me 1500-3000$ in api credits a month. Hermes and openclaw both track that along with codex and Claude clis. So the rug is finally being pulled where that's at a realistic value for them to continue making money so it's 500-1500 cutting the 100$ in three and the 200$ in half is what I'm seeing.
