I was just wondering what are people making with codex , what cool projects do you have going on? Apps, games, websites etc? Maybe some screenshots?
Personally I’m working on a gta 5 server with the help of codex.
Now maybe I'm the idiot but I've never felt the need to open the view menu so when I discovered this was pretty excited.
Set aside training for now, but this means that compute price itself is really very cheap compared to US models pricing, chatgpt is smarter than deepseek yes, but does this justify deepseek v4 pro to be 34x cheaper than 5.5 ? 0.87 usd vs 30 usd for ouptut ? How can this get achieved? Does training cost justify 34x increase in price ?
Personally its still terrible for me. I'm on the plus plan and a single 5.5 xhigh prompt used 6% of my 5 hour usage. Yesterday this was like 1-2%
Bruh, finally, I burned through my quota strangely fast this week. So guys use your quotas!
Been running 36 minutes so far, it created a "pressure campaign" that includes a letter to the white house and a media strategy. Will keep everyone updated.
Don't want to sound overly-optimistic but there haven't been any explosions for many minutes now. Will see.
After years working with these tools I had never complained, and never consider the problems big enough to post something about it.
But after 3 days of creating a MESS in all my projects with 5.5 I feel it’s enough .. and I can’t be just to be quiet on the side.
The amount of
“You are right .”
“You are right .”
“You are right .”
And the gaslighting and pandering… while all the projects were getting worse and worse it’s ridiculous at this point.
5.5 has big issues and we, the paying customers, need to have better visibility when something is wrong.
I’m not asking why 5.5 is not perfect, I’m just asking for visibility, we can’t be working with tools that are degraded.
Hey everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade my setup for heavy development workflows and could use some advice on the current pricing tiers. I used to be on a $200 plan but stepped away for a bit, and now that OpenAI has the split Pro tiers ($100 vs. $200) with a heavy focus on Codex limits, I'm trying to figure out the best move.
I have two main paths I’m debating:
For the power users and developers here running heavy parallel workloads or multi-step agentic tasks: Is the $200 ChatGPT Pro tier worth the extra cash over the $100 tier, or am I better off splitting my budget between both ecosystems to get the best of both worlds?
Appreciate any insights on how the current message caps and token limits feel on the $100 vs $200 tiers!
I previously used a 5x (10x) account. I subscribed last month, so I was able to use it through this month. I develop with Codex almost every day of the week. I used to consume around 20% per day.
However, this week, I used up all of my tokens in just two days. In the end, I used another account of mine and subscribed to the 20x plan. After working today, I used 20% of my allowance.
So I think it would be fair to say that, compared to last month — or even last week and the week before — the token usage limit has effectively been reduced by half.
Hello, I am currently on Claude max 20, some time ago I saw only praising on the sub and now people are complaining, so it is not a good moment to switch to codex? I thought about migrating to it but then saw the posts
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve stopped working on my main project because Codex feels noticeably different and less reliable.
I’ve been testing it on side projects instead, and even with GPT-5.5 on xhigh with my pro plan, I often have to baby-step it just to get decent results. That makes me nervous about letting it touch a codebase that actually matters to me.
From what I’ve read, I’m not the only one seeing this. And honestly, the bigger concern is the grey area around these tools. We build workflows around them, pay for expensive plans, and then quality can shift without clear explanations, stable versioning, or real control over what we’re getting.
For side projects, that’s annoying. For professional work, it’s risky.
Should paid AI coding tools offer more transparency and stable modes? Or is the lesson that depending too much on them is dangerous?
Curious what kind of tasks you reserve higher usage for.
I dont know, maybe im just terrible at explaining what i want them to do but im literally wasting so much usage bc codex keeps messing up and i have to try and fix it before it messes up again. The UI is whats the most difficult imo. I cant seem to ever get a functional well made UI for any app or game. Any advice??
I want to start experimenting with /goal in the codex macos app, but if you have a coding task that's running for hours and hours (and even days) you're going to hit compaction multiple times. Compaction famously degrades output and code quality. How do people get around this? Is there a way to have codex automatically create handoff files and start new chat threads with fresh context as part of the same goal? Or is this not an issue in the way I think it is?
Curious what other people here think. Thanks.

And I am 100% sure the limits are draining 2x as fast while anthropics limits have gone up a lot.
I am using Codex CLI. I am thinking that codex uses GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark for subagents for the investigation tasks and uses 5.5 Xhigh for implementation tasks. Is this possible that 5.5 Xhigh spawns subagents with 5.3 Spark?
And are you happy with performance of 5.3 Spark's performance? For the implementation to be honest it was really bad but maybe for search capabilities are better?
