I'm strongly considering biting the bullet and just ditching my $200/month Claude Code plan for the Codex one instead, especially because I keep running into my weekly limits (even sticking to Opus.)
1. No 5 hour usage limit
2. Weekly usage gets reset CONSTANTLY. It's crazy. The longest I've ever seen it go without a reset is maybe 5 days?
3. I don't feel like OpenAI is constantly trying to fuck with me. Unlike Anthropic. I would way rather have Sol all day every data, consistently, than a slightly better Fable for like, 1 prompt every 5 hours, and only when Anthropic decides to not treat me like a cyber criminal. Believe in yourself as much as Claude believes your CRUD app is going to hack the pentagon.
4. Getting access to image generation, though I don't use it too much, is a nice perk compared to Anthropic.
edit: Should mention that I had like 4 banked manual resets as well. It feels like OpenAI wants me to use their product, whereas Anthropic wants my money while giving me a nerfed experience
This last reset took 6’ish days. I know because I was almost out of limit.
I have used Fable heavily on the lower Max plan and you are really exaggerating the limits here. I've had many multi-hour sessions with Fable on Max.
I’m sticking with gemini for now given the 20TB cloud storage and youtube premium that comes with it but I’m still open to switching to codex (which I’ve had a long term plus plan for). If google keeps delaying the pro models for much longer or makes them excessively expensive, I’m likely to switch out.
I used to have the Google One with Gemini and Drive space and YT Premium separately for my family. A credit card expiration lapse lead to closing YT Premium and being locked away. Why? it was because Google One plan bundles YT Premium Lite as an extra. So they actively blocked me from getting Premium back for a month.
Now I moved to YT Premium on my wife's account and downgraded One to lowest tier. Never heard of a company forbidding users to upgrade their plans before this. I suspect Google really wants users on Google One no matter what they want. I was barely using Gemini anyway, already have claude and codex plans.
