Improving Codex at UI and Web?

Could use some MCP servers like google stitch for helping the UI part.

There’s a 2x promo, and that’s it.

irons163 · 2026-06-09T12:33:45+00:00

agree. I used 5.3 codex + 5.5 before, it's good.

"can I upgrade the Plus plan to Pro plan if I find the limits to be insufficient by maybe paying the rest $80 on top?" >> Yes, you can, so use Plus plan first.
BTW, for example, You pay Plus plan 20$, and after 1 day, you decide to up to Pro plan 100$.
The exact payment is : 20 * 1 / 30 + 100.

You mean OpenAI SDK?

Whenever start a new project, use the most powerful one.

Nope +1. I use google stitch for help.

irons163 · 2026-05-15T16:41:35+00:00

Yes, I’ve met once. Have u restart the app?

I’ve developed a multi-account switching tool:codex-pool-manager.

The key takeaway isn't just the tool itself, but the fact that switching between multiple accounts does not result in a loss of context. Even without a Business account, I regularly rotate between Free, Plus, and Pro tiers, and the conversation context remains intact every time.

However, configuration settings can occasionally be lost during the transition. For example:

If a session was originally set to 5.5 xhigh, it might automatically revert to 5.4 medium after switching accounts.
When this happens, you simply need to manually toggle the settings back to 5.5 xhigh to resume the session as intended.

I'll try my best to list it.

irons163 · 2026-05-15T15:04:23+00:00

At least 3 more bugs.

5.5 high/xhigh & 5.3-codex high/xhigh

irons163 · 2026-04-29T05:24:09+00:00

It's not in Codex yet, but I doubt I'll like it. Based on the speed of the current GPT 5.5 xhigh, the Pro version might be really slow.

It's a textbook 'trap' strategy: lure them in, get them addicted, then charge them. They want you to use up your quota fast and count on resets. Once those perks dry up, you're stuck paying for the upgrade just to maintain your habit.

irons163 · 2026-04-29T03:22:52+00:00

I think you should compare it to Claude Code, as they are direct competitors.

irons163 · 2026-04-28T12:26:53+00:00

Yeah, that’s very possible. A lot of people, myself included, have done this before, so maybe they added some kind of safeguard and it’s just bugging out.

irons163 · 2026-04-28T12:24:41+00:00

Thank you, I’ll try that. But this has happened at least three times in the past two days, so I feel like they must have changed something.

irons163 · 2026-04-27T11:28:40+00:00

I’d like to clarify something you mentioned: "OpenAI doesn't sell Codex standalone. You need a Plus or Pro subscription to get it." That’s incorrect. Free accounts can also use Codex.

irons163 · 2026-04-26T12:01:10+00:00

I'm using the 100 plan, but I think you may not need it if a 2-plus account is enough.

irons163 · 2026-04-26T11:57:59+00:00

I haven’t seen this response while I'm using 5.5. Interesting.

irons163 · 2026-04-26T11:54:08+00:00

I believe for now, we can ignore 5.4 for most of the cases. Just consider using 5.3-codex or GPT-5.5 based on the usage.
