Codex limits draining 5x faster with 18% less usage, dev's tracking claims
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-09-21
A developer's token tracking (via OpenClaw) suggests his Codex account, running exclusively GPT-5.6 Sol, exhausted weekly limits 4.8–5.9x faster than two months ago while consumption was 18% slower — same work, same reasoning effort. He warns a "token rug pull" is coming; an investor notes cheaper competing models could pressure the platform if true. Unverified personal measurement.
