Claude's usage limits didn't rise; the model pricing gap did
An analysis says Codex still gives more raw quota than Claude, and the real change is pricing: GPT-6 Astra at $10/$50 per million tokens burns through an allowance faster than Opus 5.5 at $4/$20.
🚨 Claude's usage limits didn't actually go up it just feels that way **The overall numbers:** Codex still hands out more raw quota than Claude. That hasn't changed. **What did change:** the pricing gap between models. - GPT-6 Astra: bigger, pricier — $10/$50 per million tokens. Every task burns through more of your allowance. - Opus 5.5: leaner and cheaper — $4/$20 per million tokens. Same usage cap, but it stretches much further. **The takeaway:** your limit didn't move. How fast you burn through it did. That's the real trick — Astra-level intelligence (or better) packed into a smaller, cheaper model.
