Have you used Claude Code? How does it compare?

It's objectively a big improvement over Claude Code. I'm rooting for anthropic, but they better make a big move or this will kill CC.

What are the usage limits like compared to Claude Code? Is it more like 5× or 20×? For twice the price, it would have to be very good.

have to say not sure what this even means and what the exact definition of a message is in this context.

with claude code max20 I was constantly hitting limits, with codex not once yet

Same. We're not hitting limits at all with Codex and it's ridiculously good at managing and preserving its context window while getting a metric fuckton of work done. It's kind of unbelievable actually. I don't know re billing. Not my dept.

Are you talking about Codex CLI or their GitHub integration?

GPT-5 is a great model. I tried Codex CLI Rust, as they seem to be deprecating the JS version, and it is awful. I don't know what possessed them to try and write a TUI in Rust but it isn't working. The Claude Code UI is hugely superior.
