Claude power user switches back to ChatGPT over token limits: 17 hours of audio transcribed in 2 hours

A developer who switched from OpenAI to Claude in January 2025 and became a Claude evangelist is switching back after hitting Claude's token limits. Back on ChatGPT, he fed 17 hours of audio and got a fully searchable transcription archive in two hours, well within limits. He finds Codex solid for complex work, though the ChatGPT UI feels "like GeoCities," and says OpenAI's generous quotas and frictionless task handling won him back—for now.
