Dev says Codex burns 77% of weekly quota in 28 hours, 4x slower than Claude Code on same tasks

A developer who switched from Claude Code to Codex on a ChatGPT Plus plan reports Codex takes 2 hours for tasks Claude Code finished in 25-32 minutes, while burning 77% of the weekly usage limit within 28 hours — with output quality he describes as comparable to a free model.
He also hit a memory problem: after granting Codex access to his VPS for dograh and n8n workflows, every new session forgets the connection, forcing him to re-explain context each time. He wonders whether it's misuse or a product issue, noting others build great things with Codex, and asks for memory solutions.
