robleclerc · x · 2026-08-02
The author shares their experience with quota consumption across AI coding tools. In 45 minutes, only 3% of the weekly Codex quota was used, while the Fable quota was entirely depleted just by doing planning and review. The author notes that as foundational tools like Codex get cheaper, using expensive tools like Fable for auxiliary planning is becoming increasingly less cost-effective.
