Users pitch a Codex '/slow' mode: half speed for double usage, ideal for overnight runs
AIandDesign · x · 2026-09-13
A user has proposed a '/slow' mode for OpenAI's Codex: tasks run at roughly half speed while consuming about half the usage quota, easing server load and potentially making the 20x plan viable. The pitch highlights overnight workflows—queueing a task before bed and letting it run till morning—especially for /goals-style long jobs. The idea drew support from AI design accounts, with some saying even 0.25x speed would be worth it for more usage.
