What issue are you seeing?

I switched today from Claude to Codex with a Plus account. After about 20 minutes, I hit my weekly limit. Why didn’t I hit a 5 hour limit first?

With Claude, my usage lasted much longer. At the beginning of the week, I would usually hit the 8-hour limit rather than the weekly limit right away.

Right now it feels like I wasted €20. Is this normal?

extent analysis

TL;DR

The user may need to verify their subscription status and usage limits in the Codex App, as the weekly limit was hit unexpectedly after switching from Claude.

Guidance

  • Check the Codex App's documentation to understand the usage limits for the Personal Plus subscription.
  • Verify that the subscription is correctly linked to the user's account by checking the account settings.
  • Compare the usage limits and subscription details between Claude and Codex to identify any differences.
  • Consider reaching out to support to clarify why the weekly limit was hit instead of the expected 5-hour limit.

Notes

The issue may be related to a misunderstanding of the subscription limits or a technical issue with the Codex App. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Verify subscription status and usage limits to ensure correct configuration, as the issue may be related to a misunderstanding of the limits rather than a technical problem.
