Yeah, Codex basically gives me unlimited tokens for my use-case under the Pro plan. Just keep it the same price and keep or increase usage limits and I'm quite happy.

This lets me mess around with random experiments as I "catch up" on how to find various (mostly silly) uses for the technology.

That and much less worry about being banned without warning for not using approved harnesses as I try random stuff is a giant plus as well.

I assume they have lots of spare compute and less demand than Anthropic as it's obvious they are subsidizing my usage for now. But it lets me start off with "giant context window" type playgrounds which give immediate moderate effectiveness, then I can figure out how to tighten it up and reduce token burn from there.

In contrast, I’m on the $200 max plan for Codex and I hit the 5 hour limit near daily at work. I typically am having it work on about 5 tasks an hour. I’ve never hit a 5 hour limit on Claude on the $200 plan but I have hit my weekly limit.
What models?
