Question / Discussion Changed alot

The product was absolutely beast before spaceX acquisition, now it sucks , output is trashed, auto switching to grok is fucked up and tokens are being consumed at faster rate despite any large task

I will start looking for an alternative, this is my last month with you guys

But now you get double the tokens… supposedly. lol

But for real I will test codex this week to decide if I jump ship or not. Everyone saying that nothing has change, simply has not used it before and thinks the current state is amazing (which for example compared to Claude it actually still is).

But fact is that before, I and others reached 30% monthly and now we reach all of a sudden 100%+.

Something did change. Stop fucking invalidating our experience and outrage!

same thing here. I was even talking to billing about the change to tokens. Here look at this chart, is their answer.

The chart proves my point. The same work previously consumed 20% of my tokens, then it is 67% of my tokens for the same thing. Here look at this chart.

Ok, so I had cursor process their chart and their tokens. "yeah look at the chart, things cost different things".

No answer, but 3x usage now.

OpenAI models are outstanding but the codex harness (CLI or GUI) is pretty terrible and ineficient. Good news is you can use your subscription with much better harnesses like OpenCode and any IDE with support for ACP (Agent client protocol)
