alt Hacker NewsI was vacationing! What's up with OpenAI now? Asking with some morbid curiosity tbh.

As a person that hasn’t used Claude code before, I’ve been using OpenAI’s Codex and it is pretty amazing. I wonder how much more amazing Claude is.
Codex switched to paid API tokens only. Not to mention their alignment with the department of war.
Codex just changed the way they calculate usage with a massive negative impact.
Before a Subscription was the cheapest way to gain Codex usage, but now they've essentially having API and Subscription pricing match (e.g. $200 sub = $200 in API Codex usage).
The only value of a subscription now is that you get the web version of ChatGPT "free." In terms of raw Codex usage, you could just as easily buy API usage.
edit: This is currently rolled out for Enterprise, but is coming to Pro/Plus soon. The people below saying "I haven't had this issue" haven't yet*.
