Pro 5x user rage-quits over Codex usage limits, says Plus gets more coding done
DrunkenPionier · reddit · 2026-09-10
A Reddit user who just upgraded to Pro 5x says they immediately hit usage caps and can't use Codex except through the heavily limited Spark 5.3. They complain that unlike Plus, Pro lacks transparent five-hour/weekly limit rules and that OpenAI doesn't communicate limits properly. Claiming Plus actually yields more coding output, they plan to cancel Pro and wait until Astra becomes the standard model, noting the account is effectively unusable until the 15th.
