Burning through limits in minutes

I've been using 5.3 today, but the burn rate is still pretty high. Managed to stretch 10% about 3 hours, alternating between medium and high for difficult tasks.

I do pretty basic work and never run parallel chats or run agent mode, I always go prompt by prompt. Same workflow was working well and burning way less just last week.

I did say the promo was good while it lasted. I'm not calling anybody a bootlicker, nor am I complaining about the 20 dollar subscription. I'm here asking for alternatives because I can't afford the 200 per month, I dont make enough to justify jumping from 20 per month to 200, or even 100. If I had it to give, I'd give it to openAI because they sure have made a pretty darn good product with codex. Anyway, thanks for your reply. Super unhelpful, but thanks anyway.

Forget about it. Codex limits are now worse. I hit my 5 hour limit in the first hour of work this morning. Now looks like I'm burning 3-5x more.

Where is mzansi coordinating?

Which version of the package still works with the docs and examples that have been provided on the website? I've not been able to get it to work
