Anthropic doesn’t want you to use a tool that makes it easy to switch to a competitor’s model when you reach a cap. They want to nudge you toward upgrading - Pro -> Max -> Max 20× -> extra usage - rather than switching to Codex. They can afford to make moves like this as long as they stay on top. OpenAI isn’t the good guy here - it’s just an opportunity for them to bite off a bit more of the cake.

I’d say the vast majority of people on OpenCode aren’t using CC in combination with Codex.

It’s CC with Qwen and KLM and other OSS and/or local models.

Why would I "switch" when I can pay the $20 for both? More than enough for any personal projects I have time for.

And if I was making any money, the Max tiers would be pennies in the bucket.
