In case you're wondering why the limits behave so very different from last week. Also: this makes limit resets kind woth significantly less.

In hindsight, this makes more sense with the release of Astra. The $100/mo is now a more compelling upsell.

Yep, worked on me...

I went another way and signed up for a opencode go subscription on the side.

Session limits are obnoxious and make Codex much less useful for me. I tend to code in spurts when I find some time and the $20 weekly limit was reasonable for my side projects.

I'm now hitting the session limits which means I can either purchase another plan, upgrade, or move off of Codex.

The equivalent alternative is not "no hourly limits", it's simply less overall weekly allowance for Plus users, or higher prices overall. It's a way to balance a scarce resource, and maybe the least frustrating one?

People have a fair chance to learn resource management in 5 hour chunks, while not being limited to silly models, and burning through all tokens in the first hour of the week. Seems mostly good.

This allows users to pace their subscription usage to last the whole week.

I've had few weekends where I spend the full week credits over night then have nothing to do for a week

They could make this opt-in or opt-out

This is very fair. Compared to Claude the Codex limits are much better and smarter model.

Clearly, the prices and limitations will increase with time if they don't find an efficient way to perform training and inference of LLMs. It would be great to see those issues being seriously addressed and, eventually, being fixed for good. THAT would definitely make an important and practical difference. Not only economically but also scientifically.
