Users report that ChatGPT Plus's Codex usage limits have become more restrictive. The 5-hour cap is criticized as too short, often depleting in under an hour for small tasks. Additionally, users notice the quota burns faster, dropping from a few days of usage to less than 36 hours. Faced with these limitations, some users are considering switching to Claude.
