User cancels $200 ChatGPT Pro over Codex rate limits and slow 35 tok/s speed
karmay007 · x · 2026-10-12
A user says he will cancel his $200/month ChatGPT Pro subscription, calling the Opus coding experience another Sonnet 3.5 moment for him. His reasoning: OpenAI currently has no competitive model, 35 tok/s is far slower than Claude's 280 tok/s which also uses fewer tokens, and Codex rate limits are so bad he sees no point in keeping the plan. A direct paying-user comparison of the two flagship coding models.
