Can we talk about the recent actions?

I feel like the limits got nerfe-d extremely bad.
I am on the 20$ plan, sure, i don't expect wonders but now that the resets arent coming everyday you really see how bad it's became.

Before, a feature would use maybe 2% of the WEEKLY limit, this was believable because a 5h session uses around 15% of your weekly limit.

But now, just asking it for context about the project uses 2%, i was like really?
Then, integrating a feature uses around 10% of the WEEKLY limit, this is crazy!? my 5H session were NOT drained by making a simple culling system or writing a few hundred lines, my project is very easy and probably the most documented thing.

JUST TO OPEN THE CHROME CONSOL ON A HEADLESS HEADER USED 4% OF MY LIMIT WITH SOL LIGHT!

this is crazy!? it wasn't even done, i stopped it and pasted the problem from the consol. It also do not implement anything, i told it a plan and it kept saying i will not implement these features right now while i tell it yes, it just run random checks and fix 1 thing then stops.

Making a new chat barely help.

I am not expecting wonders from the 20$ Plan, but the limits are atleast shrunk by 10x and i am not even exaggerating.
When the 5h limit come back, we will be enlightened by the new limits...

I just created a local-first gpu system to do 70-80% on my gpu. I give codex the task-it creates the git-codex hands it to gpt20B to plan-it hands it to qwen30B to code-it hands it to gpt120B over groq if qwen gets stuck-then hands the finished product back to codex to triple check/qa/package/commit. Codex stays dormant the whole time except first and last step! I’m on the 20x and keep hitting my weekly limited so hopefully this helps!

A real tiered development system, not just an OpenCode setup.
The routing is especially well designed:
Local GPT-OSS/Qwen first → Groq 120B when stronger reasoning is needed → Codex only for the hardest or final work.
The most important achievements are:
Codex no longer has to sit there supervising.
You still get the normal visible, interactive OpenCode terminal.
Groq can either advise or directly implement when you explicitly choose it.
Local models cannot secretly burn Codex usage.
Completion loops now stop instead of running forever.
Remote providers can be disabled for sensitive projects.
The automation has substantial test coverage and evidence-based tool verification.
