Codex users hit strict limits after promo ends

A user on X voiced their dissatisfaction with the usage limits imposed on Codex following the end of the 2X promo, claiming they hit a 5-hour limit in just one hour. They compared the situation unfavorably to past limits on Claude Code, stating that they are now getting more value out of Claude Code powered by Opus 4.8 than Codex with GPT.

// ANALYSIS

The end of promotional usage tiers often leads to a backlash as power users suddenly face restrictive caps that interrupt their workflow.

–High usage limits are a key competitive advantage in the AI coding assistant space.
–Users are highly sensitive to sudden decreases in allowed usage and will actively compare limits across competing products.
–Claude Code is currently perceived by this user as offering better usage allowances than Codex.
