Codex Burned 40% of Weekly Limit Scraping One Brand; Opus Did 80+ on the Same

A developer building an architecture/interior design SaaS compared Claude Opus 5.5 and OpenAI's Codex Sol 6.1 on the same web-scraping workload: 80+ furniture brands, 60,000 products. Opus consumed about 40% of its weekly limit to process everything, while Codex — running the identical rules and md files — burned 40% of its weekly limit in 30 minutes on a single brand without finishing. With a $200/mo Claude plan and $100/mo ChatGPT plan, the post is a concrete real-world accounting of how drastically the two coding agents differ in quota efficiency on identical agentic scraping tasks.
