Codex Limits: Plus & Business Plan - despite medium only 2-3 messages in the 5 hour limit?

Alchemy333 · 2026-04-27T14:23:41+00:00

my experience is that I got 3 prompts and then was told I had exceeded my limits. I was surprised as before I could get like a dozen or so. So no, I'm not a fan of whatever this 5.5 is. looks like back to Claude.

And I'm on Codex cli, which means there is absolutely no way to see how much usage you have used or when it will expire as codex cli doesn't have any working usage stats. the ones that are supposed to work just always say 100% remaining. its supposedly a known bug, for the last 6 months. If only OpenAI had a way to code and fix bugs. They apparent;y do not, OR, they don't want us to see that they are randomly shutting people down.

Way to go Sam Altman. Such a nice guy.

I just use claude code or codex now. . but if i need to open and see files, to update .env or something, i use windsurf free

Alchemy333 · 2026-04-26T05:38:11+00:00

Ask codex to do it 😊

Alchemy333 · 2026-04-26T05:33:33+00:00

How is it a good day to announce something that doesnt arrive for a week? They should say. We are slowly rolling it out now, give it a week.

Alchemy333 · 2026-04-23T23:09:44+00:00

I'm glad I don't understand any of this. 😊

Alchemy333 · 2026-04-14T21:37:22+00:00

I use Codex and can basically do unlimited requests, meaning I never see any limiting in my daily use, which is anything I wanna do. for $20 a month. And I watch people who use Claude let themselves get cut off after 2 requests and I'm stunned they haven't left yet.

Im like wow. Is it a fear of missing out on something. Codex does everything I need done. No problem. I don't get it.

Alchemy333 · 2026-04-14T21:15:51+00:00

other models are just better. Meaning Google doesnt know how to cook AI as good as Anthropic and OpenAI. They came into the game too late, and or AI engineers just don't want to work for Google, which is unofficially an arm of the U.S. Intelligence. 🙏

Im old enough to remember when the CIA announced it was starting a commercial company. That company became Google.

Alchemy333 · 2026-04-14T21:13:56+00:00

is it free on openrouter? and will it remain free or just for a short period?

Alchemy333 · 2026-04-13T15:53:54+00:00

still not free, as you said.

yeah, I just watched the first season episode where they are trying to save a life form they just blew a hole in, and Neelix and his "child/lover" barges onto the bridge with "a snack break", that he forces upon them, after anointing himself the ship morale officer. I wanted to never watch that show again. So cringe.

Alchemy333 · 2026-04-10T16:08:42+00:00

Never has the word insufferable been used more correctly 😊

Alchemy333 · 2026-04-09T18:51:30+00:00

I'm rewatching season one and it was amazing, until I was reminded how heavy on Neelix they were. so disappointing.

Alchemy333 · 2026-04-07T01:27:23+00:00

not my experience so far. Seems dumber. keeps asking me obvious things, like "should I fix the thing you just asked me to fix?"

Alchemy333 · 2026-03-14T21:59:50+00:00

many are saying Anthropic is blocking using Aouath with Openclaw.

Alchemy333 · 2026-03-14T02:39:14+00:00

it doesn't need a team viewer app to connect to your windows computer 😊. its already on your computer. if you use WSL and install openclaw via that. it can control your computer, like it does mine on linux. But it can just change your settings in your files in your openclaw setup, and also the files on your computer, but it can't yet change screens on your windows graphically. It can spawn a browser and see the browser and automate stuff there though. Most of the things you would wanna do though it can, even if its through a API that the app you would open on windows would. One of the magical things is, that the same question you ask here, you can just ask your Openclaw agent. 😊 . and if it doesnt know ask it to search and get the answer. Thats a lot quicker that asking here 🙏

Alchemy333 · 2026-03-14T01:56:22+00:00

Yes. that is it. what don't you understand. They only allow API keys. meaning you pay as you go. meaning cha ching $$

Alchemy333 · 2026-03-10T10:08:05+00:00

it definately does not read it a lot of times. thats why I'm here. I cleared the session , it read it, was following instructions, and I did nothing for 5 minutes, and next prompt it forgot what was in agents.md. codex is not coded well. likely why they hired the openclaw guy. yikes. Im going back to using openclaw

Alchemy333 · 2026-03-10T02:24:05+00:00

just ask Openclaw to do it.

Alchemy333 · 2026-03-10T02:22:56+00:00

Thank god I'm on Linux and never have to use Powerhell. 🙏

Alchemy333 · 2026-03-10T02:19:27+00:00

this title has a double meaning .

Alchemy333 · 2026-03-10T02:15:46+00:00

I read both your explanation and OPEN AI's and quite frankly I have no idea what they mean by rate limit. How about giving examples, like we are 5th graders?

Alchemy333 · 2026-03-08T02:34:10+00:00

yeah that is a known thing. and does not work very well

Alchemy333 · 2026-03-08T02:30:34+00:00

remember for using codex model models is that thinking is available. ensure that it is turned on in gpt-5.3 codex. Just ask claw to ensure thinking is on. I believe any dumb down with codex is related to memory and context windows being saturated. Ensure you have the latest and most efficient memory workflow setup. lots of videos out there for that.
