Anthropic gives you much more compute with their $200 plan, inclusive of resets, and this has been true for a very long time.

There was only a brief window of time that the opposite was true.

> Anthropic gives you much more compute

That does not match my experience. I switched away from Anthropic to OpenAI roughly a month ago, and it's almost comical how much more usage I'm getting out of this subscription.

I migrated from Anthropic's 5x plan to OpenAI's 5x plan, and eventually upgraded to 20x after I was able to statistically verify that OpenAI plans were almost exact multipliers of the Plus plan, exactly as advertised. Meanwhile, Anthropic has gotten caught playing "20x referred to the five hour limit" word games with their customers.

		There was a period of time Codex was better, they slowly cut it back by my estimate 3x a few months ago. I've verified this with the heaviest users I know, I've run the numbers myself over and over. I have too many max accounts on each to not know this. My Claude accounts typically are doing 2x the number of sessions, and every single week the Codex accounts run out faster even with all these resets. I can easily burn a full weeks usage in a half day, it's closer to 1.5 with CC.

I've used the $200 dollar Anthropic plan @ Opus4/4.1, 4.5 and 4.8, and the $200 OAI plan from GPT5-6, and at every point in time my anecdotal experience is that the OAI limits are FAR more generous. I could consistently burn my weekly limits in ~36h on Opus, but it's hard to do it in less than ~72h with GPT.

It's really not a question, in every dimension I've confirmed it including socially across a lot of the heaviest users. There was a short period of time this was true it's not been true for months now.

If it was true, it would only be a very recent phenomenon, and it still doesn't match anecdotal reports from people I trust. If you have data to back up your assertions you should share it, otherwise you come across as very sus.

		I'm not anonymous, you can find me on X or LinkedIn. Me 78 days ago - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48693623 And see the commenter agreed with me. Lol @ sus though, I mean I am curious how this can be because I do see people saying Codex is more generous and wonder how it can be. I have too much usage for too long to have any doubts, but for all I know OpenAI black boxed me or Anthropic put me in some nice bucket, I wouldn't be surprised if they do that. I did see some mention that they can limit your tokens if they suspect you of things, though I forget the source of that.
