It turns out that such a thing can happen.🥲

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

@thsottiaux And why doesn’t the support team respond properly to inquiries from clients who pay $200 for the opportunity to work 6 hours a week without seeing any significant results?

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

@thsottiaux And when can we get a response? Why does the weekly limit on the Astra model expire in half a day without any progress?

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

@thsottiaux Meanwhile, the Opus 5.5 model has been running for three days and has completed more useful work than the 4‑week limit of the Pro20x.

@melvindvivas I have no intention whatsoever of going back to OpenAI’s products; they completely let me down in September. Astra is a useless piece of rubbish.

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

@annapanart You can check out my tweets. I never thought I’d get such a headache for my money.

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

@annapanart ChatGPT is absolute rubbish. In September, I used up two weekly limits and two restarts, but I haven’t made any progress at all. Now I’m only working in Anthropic Cloud – OpenAI can go to hell.

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

This isn’t a controlled benchmark. It’s more important to me than one: it’s my actual product. I spent weeks, huge amounts of Codex quota, a $200/mo Pro subscription and additional credits trying to move it forward. Then I changed the main operator. Two days later, the project moved. That’s a hell of a product comparison.

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

I finally changed the main engineering operator on Ashitaka.

Same real project. Same repository. Same overall goal and high-level orchestration.

Codex/Astra → Claude.

The difference after ~2 days is brutal.

OpenAI: 1% of my weekly limit left. Claude Max 20x: ~14% used.

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

Meanwhile, my OpenAI support case about the abnormal Codex usage is still unresolved after more than a week. I supplied timestamps, screenshots, reset reproductions and Analytics. Getting a concrete backend explanation has been painfully difficult. Public posts on X produced essentially no substantive response either. @OpenAI

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

@AnthropicAI @bcherny — credit where it’s due. Claude is currently giving me dramatically better progress-per-limit on a difficult, long-running autonomous engineering project. Not prettier answers. Not a nicer demo. More verified work completed per unit of usage. That’s what I actually needed.

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

Claude also completed working Approval → SafeAction → working-folder apply → post-verification → rollback in https://t.co/ENnxQp1Ifj, proved exactly-once behavior, fixed dependency/pytest/sandbox issues, and safely removed 118 obsolete workspaces. This is actual shipped engineering progress.

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

In roughly two days, Claude moved the same project through work that had been stuck for weeks:

• Telegram context/follow-ups fixed
• web research improved
• production fixes deployed
• canonical https://t.co/ehkFd01LLm → PASS
• runtime qualified + deployed
• large-repo verification passed

And that’s only part of it.

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

This is what Codex usage looked like.

My Analytics currently shows: Ashitaka - 184.75% of a weekly limit “аш��така” - 77.18%
And the latest fresh weekly allowance was almost completely burned again.
That would be easier to accept if the project were moving proportionally. It wasn’t. @thsottiaux @OpenAIDevs

@CodexResets1 There’s no reset💩

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

@CodexResets1 Not only is there no reset, but support has been ignoring me for more than a week. Two week‑long limits have been exhausted. Each of us worked for less than a day on a single project.🥵

[Andrei Kolesnikov @AndreiKoless]

@prd_008 Not only is there no reset, but support has been ignoring me for more than a week. Two week‑long limits have been exhausted. Each of us worked for less than a day on a single project.🥵
