theo ran the numbers on OpenAI's Codex plan changes: the $500 tier nets roughly $10.5k/month of effective usage and the $200 tier about $4.3k, calling the pricing pretty good. ssh4net pushes back that API-paying users aren't subsidizing flat-rate accounts — the $200 tier's usage limits are simply what that tier includes, sparking debate over flat-rate fairness for heavy users.
