Sitting This One Out
By Cristiano Pierry
I canceled Claude for much the same reason I’m reconsidering Codex now, so let’s see how it goes this time.
Earlier this year, I canceled Claude because I kept hitting its limits much faster than Codex’s. Now I’ve switched from Pro 200 to Pro 500 and, to my surprise, run out of Codex tokens in three days. So I’m going to give Opus another try.
I’ve been pushing Codex hard for months. Mostly, I only managed to keep working seven days a week because of the irregular but frequent Tibo resets. As I understand it, those resets have ended. Makes sense.
I still have one “banked reset,” but I’m going to sit this one out. I’ll spend the next four days seeing how far Opus takes me. I canceled Claude for much the same reason I’m reconsidering Codex now, so let’s see how it goes this time.
My one concern is Dots. I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep using Dots alongside Claude, and that’s part of the decision too.
Keeping both subscriptions isn’t in the cards right now. In four days, I’ll decide where next month’s money goes.
