User juggles Codex and Claude rate limits: top models show diminishing returns
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-09-19
A subscriber details how the rate-limit windows of Codex and Claude now stack awkwardly: using premium models like Astra can burn through Codex quota on day one, forcing a 6-day wait, while Claude's quota is best saved for Fable in the final two days of the cycle. His takeaway: diminishing returns above Opus/Sol-tier models — for his podcast automation workflows, the top tiers aren't necessary, and quota juggling has become the real cost of multi-subscription AI coding.
