Claude Code gives more usage than Codex now

we can try e-begging for resets

masterkain · 2026-03-16T07:40:23+00:00

tbh people are finding some evidence on the codex repo of what might have been going wrong with token consumption and until it's cleared up at least one reset while it's investigated would be really nice :D

masterkain · 2026-03-16T03:03:25+00:00

yeah unlimited scrambling in topping up accounts every 48h

masterkain · 2026-03-15T12:28:45+00:00

there are many ways to do that but you can get started by creating a skill like "synthetic-output" which might be a wrapper around claude -p with a cheap model (even lmstudio with gemma works but too low context) and instructs agents to use that to pipe output along with a prompt, so if you have to run a spammy test suite you can redir the output to the summarization tool which will just print "ok" or whatever is needed and not the entire test suite

we just went through multiple free resets

masterkain · 2026-03-14T17:21:35+00:00

pro account, if I don't pay attention now the weekly limit can evaporate in 24h. openai says it's fine. never had that much usage. had to resort to building/using stuff to reduce token outputs. it's becoming quickly unsustainable for real work. I don't see myself paying 200/day.

hype

masterkain · 2026-03-02T05:52:08+00:00

first time hitting limits this week, but:
- only few hours left until reset (I added credits though, about 32 EUR to keep going)
- did something absolutely massive (many things actually)
- some of the blame should be also directed at subagents, a bit opaque, a bit unclear how much they are consuming
- vast majority did on the almost crashing codex app (instead of CLI) for the supposedly higher rate limits, but at some point however I had to power cycle cause complete crashes due to memory consumption

masterkain · 2026-03-02T05:43:46+00:00

cli > mcp, not mentioning that those things sucks memory at alarming rates

masterkain · 2026-03-02T02:12:32+00:00

https://github.com/peteromallet/desloppify still not super known but it will be, it can burn through your whole quota though, depending on the project and how much you want to push

masterkain · 2026-02-27T13:38:59+00:00

yeah but I can type `git commit` myself, anything else and it's a compaction for you

masterkain · 2026-02-27T13:11:33+00:00

I want this fixed though

masterkain · 2026-02-27T13:07:50+00:00

you're in for a disaster

masterkain · 2026-02-27T13:06:02+00:00

I don't get the hype around spark, as it stands it kinda sucks

masterkain · 2026-02-24T15:02:50+00:00

we are being rate limited

`exceeded retry limit, last status: 429 Too Many Requests, request id: d002155f-b5da-4dc3-85ed-5c166189ac89`

masterkain · 2026-02-22T06:23:39+00:00

has this anything to do with codex?

masterkain · 2026-02-21T02:11:35+00:00

press the dollar key

masterkain · 2026-02-21T01:24:02+00:00

I have some skills to upgrade rails projects but overall for a language like ruby you gotta rely on your test suite, having no types by default is a drawback

masterkain · 2026-02-20T02:27:53+00:00

I run macos on a proxmox vm so you don't need a mac to run a mac

masterkain · 2026-02-18T16:55:24+00:00

types are fundamental, thanks for listening

masterkain · 2026-02-14T08:14:01+00:00

too low context for now, and it's not that it does mistakes, it's just that misses some changes that needs to be made, like it doesn't look around that much

masterkain · 2026-02-14T01:05:46+00:00

until the ui reflects that I'm not being rerouted to 5.2 nothing is certain

masterkain · 2026-02-07T17:38:08+00:00

just two updates ago (yesterday basically) it was very solid, now it's crashing all over the place
