I had similar experience, not good enough yet to come back for the Claude max plan.

Sticking with ChatGPT pro sub and gpt5 codex on high.

do you ever hit your pro quota?

Never hit pro quota yet, huge repo. Have multiple projects on the go locally and in cloud.

Feel like this is going to be thr $1000 plan soon

I'm thinking about switching to ChatGPT Pro also. Any idea what maxes it out before I need to pay via the API instead? For context I'm using about 1b tokens a month so likely similar to you by the sounds of things.

On pro tier have not been able to trigger the usage cap.

Pro

Local tasks: Average users can send 300-1,500 messages every 5 hours with a weekly limit. Cloud tasks: Generous limits for a limited time. Best for: Developers looking to power their full workday across multiple projects.

Thank you, that's very helpful. I think I could get close to that in some coding sessions where I'm running multiple in parallel but I suspect it's very very rare. Even with token efficient gpt5-codex my OpenAI bill is quite high so I think I will switch to Pro now.
