Codex is not better anymore. It appears they nerfed their quota a few weeks ago. I never used to hit my 5 hr limit, now I always do. Sometimes in like 2 prompts.
Codex was running a 2x usage promotion from around the time when Claude introduced rate limiting during peak hours, until May 31st. The various relevant subreddits were (more) insufferable: just 1000 posts per day to the tune of "Just switched the codex! So much more usage!" only to have that tone flip immediately after the promo ran out.
