A user says $200/month Codex is so productive they now pay OpenAI $1,200 a month

The author says a $200/month Codex plan delivers much more value than Claude in day-to-day use.
As a result, they now hold four Codex subscriptions but only one Claude subscription, and expect to add two more Codex plans after using up banked credits—implying about $1,200/month to OpenAI versus $200/month to Anthropic.
