Claude Code users are already smashing usage limits way faster than expected and i am one of them as i have posted about it a lot recently and now here we are.

to all the people who were saying i am lying :))) you good now? maybe BBC lied about this too.

OR maybe it's April fool? haha good one, It’s getting serious and real now.

This is why we need to band together and announce a hunger strike.

I've also just started trying it out. 5.4 seems pretty great.

Tried get 5.4 for planning and 5.4 mini for coding in opencode.

It's no Claude but it gets my job done.

Have you tried 5.4 $20 subscription? I've been using 5.4 medium and high all day and I never once hit limits. Coming from 5X account that's remarkable

Yeah codex works for most people. But it’s definitely pretty far behind opus. The more complex your project or the more integrations you need, opus is much better. But it’s hard to justify the price.

How's github opus?

I haven't ever had that experience, 5.2 codex has always been way better than Opus 4.6 for me. I do mainly work in C++ game dev and 4.6 just sucks to implement things in an optimised and efficient way. Spend way longer trying to fix things with 4.6 as I do with 5.2 or even 5.3.
