panickssery · x · 2026-08-28
A user compares API usage consumption between Codex and the game Fable. The test shows that a 5.6-hour Codex run consumed only about 75% of the weekly quota, with noticeable usage ramping up only after switching to ultra and fast modes. In contrast, Fable drains a significant amount of quota within hours.
