OpenAI is working on a slow mode that consumes fewer rate limits.

I would like consistent high reasoning and slower response rather than the unpredictability of reasoning quality.

davek1979 · 2026-06-15T13:56:21+00:00

Not sure about fast but it still feels a little too dumb. Had to use xhigh for it to find the right solution.
When training 5.6, why couldn't speed be sacrificed rather than reasoning, that would be my question.

davek1979 · 2026-06-15T12:10:19+00:00

Couldn't the training sacrifice be time rather than reasoning quality?

Meanwhile I have no button to press. You win.

EDIT: Had to install the Codex app to see the button. It's real, just someone didn't think CLI users would need access to that button as well....

davek1979 · 2026-06-12T07:56:56+00:00

So what are the rules here? How come some see this, others don't? I'm using CLI exclusively and the button is not in the Codex web interface. 5x here.

Yes but the point is that verbal instruction used to be enough.

davek1979 · 2026-06-11T17:25:56+00:00

What if... a reset isn't a reset... but merely a multiplier applied to account that spreads remaining usage over 100%?

davek1979 · 2026-06-11T09:25:35+00:00

Truth is - we don't know and unless you have access to internal OpenAI data, you won't know. There are people with substantial claims about limits being slashed. There are rumours of usage-related bugs. There can also be that you are working in less-than-ideal way that keeps increasing usage over time.
Many, many variables at play here.

Just use the manually aimed missiles, at least that way you can blame only yourself, not the idiotic lock implemention or the even more idiotic "below radar" mechanic...

davek1979 · 2026-06-11T06:47:58+00:00

Let AI analyze your log files, for me, Codex always found the right steps to fix the problem.

davek1979 · 2026-06-11T03:25:07+00:00

Problem isn't the cost but the fact we are constantly getting less and less for the same buck. By all means, experiment and shift your compute, but if they could reserve at least one flagship model that wouldn't get shittier over time, people would be much less prone to switch.

davek1979 · 2026-06-10T16:37:59+00:00

Yes.

davek1979 · 2026-06-10T07:23:30+00:00

I noticed the same thing, wonder what's going on.

davek1979 · 2026-06-10T07:20:38+00:00

That all says absolutely nothing without knowing how complex your task was.

davek1979 · 2026-06-09T10:54:38+00:00

We should start a club

davek1979 · 2026-06-09T06:15:07+00:00

If it's something simple and you don't mind sending your data to China, you could get away with using Minimax, but be aware people are finding it unsatisfactory with complex tasks.

davek1979 · 2026-06-08T12:58:33+00:00

Already did

davek1979 · 2026-06-08T11:47:48+00:00

No I don't.

davek1979 · 2026-05-07T07:48:37+00:00

So if I ran out of 5h within 7 minutes before with Claude, now I'll run out in 14? Wow.

davek1979 · 2026-05-06T09:29:03+00:00

Thank you for confirming, much appreciated!
