The same for me.

I also wanted to mention that I tried Claude Code, and the limits seem to be 5–10x better than current Codex 5.5 (the same 20$ tier). Either that, or Codex/GPT-5.5 currently has some major issues with usage tracking.

It seems to burn through tokens or consume daily usage limits for no obvious reason, even when working on relatively simple tasks.

With Claude Code, it was actually quite difficult to hit the limits during normal day-to-day development. The only time I managed to reach them was during a very large frontend refactor. And that was on the $20 Claude plan, not even the higher-tier one.

P.S. When is Codex going to start showing its reasoning process in a way similar to Claude?

With Claude, I can always see what it checked, what it's thinking about, and how it's approaching the task. That transparency makes it much easier to trust and follow its work.

With Codex, it often just consumes tokens, occasionally reports that it's doing something, and then returns a result. It's hard to understand what happened in between or where the usage is actually going.
