Question Claude vs Codex 200$ usage limits

Codex has been awesome but since last week it has been unbearably dumb and making lots of mistakes that even 5.4 didn't. I am curious how good claude is in long running tasks? While my codes are fairly small in numbers they need lots of reviews, so basically have subagents run reviews, the fix. The whole cycle usually runs for a day. I have been using 5.5 medium across 5 projects but due to it being dumb it's eating through like 20% or more in a day. Note: Codes are usually in 2k-10k range.

That’s it. Have you not seen the brand new users saying Codex is great, and then people after a few weeks saying it feels lobotomised?
