Don’t Build Your Operating System on a Quota

I have had enough of Claude’s limited token availability.

I’m migrating my Cloud Co-work automations to Codex.

I keep running out of Claude tokens. Not occasionally. Constantly.

At this point, even basic follow-up questions can hit the limit quickly enough that the workflow becomes hard to rely on. And once a workflow stops being reliable, it stops feeling like leverage and starts feeling like tech debt.

And once a workflow stops being reliable, it stops feeling like leverage and starts feeling like tech debt.

So I’m moving the automations over to Codex, and I’m canceling my Claude subscription.

Naturally, I asked Codex to help with the migration.

It is happily doing the work of replacing the system that used to do the work.

There is probably a lesson in there somewhere about abundant intelligence, brittle workflows, and the danger of building your daily operating system on top of a quota you keep exhausting.
