Researcher Seth Lazar compares watching his Codex usage drain to old pre-Starlink satellite internet — bafflingly fast. He notes the counterintuitive bit: Anthropic's $20/month plan seems to deplete far slower than Codex's $500 tier, with agents sometimes burning money "for no reason." He calls for an objective usage comparison between the two.
