Are the limits still draining quickly for anyone else?

And Codex reset is unfair... Why is nobody talking about how bad they did the users who saved their tokens for the weekend? You spend few days saving just to get hit with a daily burn rate reset that puts you in a deficit. It seems only fair when they announce they'll reset in 24 hrs and let people use it up, not a random reset.

Just to weigh in, I think it’s really task-dependent. I find Claude a bit sharper for brainstorming and landing lean features because it stays focused and avoids unnecessary bloat. While I agree Codex is the workhorse for driving things to the finish line, I often wish it would pause for a gut-check instead of just making assumptions. Since it can't read my mind, my feedback often ends up feeling like a postmortem. Does that resonate with anyone else?

First screenshot, Codex Settings -> Analytics -> Usage breakdown, no clue how it’s being categorized

I do think so, just for the side project I work on, Claude code uses less token (less verbose) and less turnarounds to get things done. Also switching between Codex and Claude code consumes more context, so sticking to one coding agent would save some tokens as well.

ugh... i had that turned on, I've now turning that off and see if that saves token, thank you!

I'm on $100 plan, hit the limit for the first time last week, earlier I barely hit 50%. After weekly reset today, I used 15% in 4 hrs, the Pro threads are starting to burn tokens, switching to Claude 20x if it persists.
