Copilot degraded, GPT rate-limited: Reddit user hunts for best-value coding AI subscription
kilouco · reddit · 2026-09-03
A Reddit user recounts his AI coding tool migration: he first used Copilot Pro for its access to Claude without a Claude subscription, but quality dropped; GPT then imposed a frustrating 5-hour usage limit. His budget OpenCode Go plan only handles trivial tasks, and he never subscribed to Claude due to the lack of a VS Code interface like Copilot and Codex. He asks the community which option offers the best cost-benefit right now — a snapshot of widespread rate-limit and quality complaints in the coding-assistant market.
