this is ironically shocking despite Claude making its usage limits lower and separating Fable from the main plan, the usage limits are still better than Codex. i've been coding with Fable 5.1 for the past few hours, and I only hit my 5 hours limit once and currently im at 60% for my Fable 5.1 usage for the entire week (it's been about 2 days of me AI engineering nonstop) however I used GPT-6 Astra on light mode yesterday and it drained my entire week's worth of usage in 5 hours. Claude limits > Codex limits
