User cancels OpenAI over Codex quota change, says Claude did a week's work in 4.5 hours
LethalLuck7 · reddit · 2026-11-06
A user recounts unsubscribing from OpenAI immediately after Chat was moved onto Codex usage limits, declining even the free month.
- On Codex, the 5-hour limit burned out in 30 minutes of frequent refinement and model switching
- On Claude Opus 5.5 High, the 5-hour window lasted 4.5 hours and consumed only 17% of the weekly cap—accomplishing what previously took a full week of Codex usage
- Claims Claude is far better at programming comprehension and effects/particle generation
An anecdotal account, but a telling data point on churn triggered by OpenAI's quota policy change.
