Use High Tiers Sparingly in Codex
DeryaTR_ · x · 2026-07-11
The forwarded content emphasizes that in coding agents like Codex, Ultra/Max should be reserved only for the hardest problems. Most coding tasks are perfectly fine with lower tiers (like Medium or xHigh).
The core advice is to avoid running all tasks with the most expensive and resource-intensive configurations right out of the gate, especially controlling the number of sub-agents; otherwise, you can easily burn through your Pro quota in no time.
