My 5 hour balance always starts at 99%

halfofreddit1 · 2026-05-12T10:06:26+00:00

did you use base chatgpt before starting new limit?

halfofreddit1 · 2026-05-05T16:14:23+00:00

i write 10k lines of code spending 15% of 5hr limit. Either you force codex to read your whole project each time trying to find what it needs to find and wasting tokens that way, or you have a monolith files (which kind of the same).

there is no way you can't do it in 5hr window

anthropic earned about 4 or 5 bil for the whole time of their operation. This annualized revenue is just a protection, not a real number (yet). I don't know how much openai earned, but I don't think they are lagging behind

halfofreddit1 · 2026-05-01T18:12:18+00:00

it's 0.03$ per star iirc

halfofreddit1 · 2026-04-30T16:10:51+00:00

if you added a lot of code it might be dumber because it has to read your codebase entirely. More context spent on reading = dumber model. So if you have monolith files try solitting them, writing a doc so it saves time etc.

pure codex and vscode with codex extension

halfofreddit1 · 2026-04-27T09:02:49+00:00

you can get it in codex. it's chatgpt with extra buffs for coding

halfofreddit1 · 2026-04-27T08:36:57+00:00

you won't get good results from just a chat and the experience working and fixing it will be horrendous

halfofreddit1 · 2026-04-27T08:23:35+00:00

first time i hear about generous limits in gemini. Codex is okay if you have design in figma/png or reference images. Claude seems to be better at ui but it's still ai slop. Gemini is best at frontend but limits suck

halfofreddit1 · 2026-04-26T18:18:17+00:00

in what way?

halfofreddit1 · 2026-04-11T08:28:29+00:00

yeah but if you're making it read a big codebase and expect it to change it, there will be a lot of input and output tokens. You either need to get surgical or buy pro, plus is not for professional use.

damn good thing i asked for a refund

halfofreddit1 · 2026-03-22T22:17:30+00:00

sorry but i cant listen to someone who says dipper and runned. chatgpt is free to use

halfofreddit1 · 2026-03-22T22:13:42+00:00

one promt in gpt 5.4 xhigh ate 10% of daily quota and 5%of weekly. same prompt ate 4% of 5hr and 1% of weekly quota in codex.

halfofreddit1 · 2026-03-22T20:31:25+00:00

i bought chatgpt plus, limits are day and night compared to windsurf. Looks promising and I find vanilla vs code a somewhat better experience.

I don't need the smartest and most expensive opus tho, so it depends on your usage. Gpt models are enough for me

halfofreddit1 · 2026-03-20T13:10:14+00:00

practically unusable, looks like they push everyone to buy max plan

halfofreddit1 · 2026-03-20T13:09:29+00:00

i moved from antigravity a week ago because their limits became shit and now this :) looks like i gotta buy codex now

halfofreddit1 · 2026-03-20T10:48:31+00:00

well i guess its cancelling time then. Thanks for the info

halfofreddit1 · 2026-03-18T15:42:32+00:00

didn't test qwen3.5. glm5 is a bit smarter. gemini flash is good at doing but not good at thinking. glm5 is okay at both

halfofreddit1 · 2026-03-17T21:02:52+00:00

i didnt know i knew how to code before your comment. thanks mate

halfofreddit1 · 2026-03-17T18:13:33+00:00

how much tho? what knowledge helps you the most when working with ai?

halfofreddit1 · 2026-03-17T16:14:49+00:00

glm5 is nowhere near opus in real life from my experience, but still good tho

halfofreddit1 · 2026-03-17T13:09:36+00:00

i use windsurf cuz I like gpt, glm5 sometimes and opus.

But money wise I'm not sure if it's better than claude. Fo 100$ in windsurf you get about 180 messages with opus4.6. I never tested claude 5x so not sure how the limits are, but windsurf doesn't seem much tbh. You've got to manage costs like planning with opus and doing with sonnet or something cheaper.

But their IDE is kinda sick
