OpenAI's help center: "Starting in December, Plus, Pro, and Business plans’ usage allowance will be shared across ChatGPT and Codex. Your usage for ChatGPT and Codex will be measured in tokens."
Instant chat won't count. Sizes aren't published yet.

🔔 Plan change: Anthropic's pricing page no longer lists Max 20x.
Max, $100: "5x Pro usage every 5 hours and every week"
Ultra, $200: "No 5-hour limit" (verified accounts), "10x Pro usage every week"
Both include Fable "up to half your weekly limit".

Cursor vs Codex, both start at $8:
Cursor Plus $8 (Grok models only)
ChatGPT Go $8 (no Codex limit stated)
$100: Cursor Super (15x Plus) vs ChatGPT Pro (no 5-hour limit)
Top: Cursor Ultra $200, ChatGPT Pro to $500
Neither publishes a fixed allowance.

Vibe coding on a budget? The app builders that do publish limits:
Bolt Free: 300K daily token limit, 1M tokens/month
Bolt Pro $25: 10M tokens/month, unused tokens roll over
Lovable Pro $25: 100 monthly credits
Every plan ≤$25:

Is the $200 plan better value? Per dollar, using vendors' own multiples:
Claude Max 20x: 20x Pro's per-session allowance for 10x the price = 2x per $
Cursor Ultra: 50x Plus usage for 25x the price = 2x per $
Neither publishes the actual size.

Claude, Cursor, Codex, Grok, Devin.
They say things like "4x more usage." 4x of what?

How Claude Code limits work, per Anthropic's help center:
• Rolling 5-hour session window
• Weekly limit on top (Pro and Max)
• Max plans get a separate weekly limit for Fable
• Max 5x = 5x Pro's per-session allowance
Resets + what to do:
limitdex.com/claude-code-usa…
1/
There's no public "Opus 5.5 weekly limit" number. LimitDex reads Anthropic's pricing and help pages daily, and as of Oct 22, none of the pages we track gives a figure for Opus 5.5 or even names it. Here's what is published, and how to stay under a limit you can't see.
7/
Staying under it: 1) Know your reset day and do heavy Opus work early in the week. 2) Use /status to see what's left. 3) It's one pool, so claude.ai chats count too. 4) Use a lighter model for routine edits (our inference, not a vendor number).
8/
5) Measure real usage: npx ccusage@latest weekly --json. 6) At the wall: wait for the reset, turn on usage credits (Pro), buy API credits, or move to Max 5x. 7) Limits change without notice. Quotes, dates and sources: limitdex.com/claude-code-usa…

OpenAI's own estimate:
"Est. local messages per 5h: GPT-6.1 Sol 15-160"
That's a 10x range, and OpenAI says these "are not fixed message limits."

1/ You have $100/month for AI coding. What does each vendor actually promise you?
Every price and quote below is from the vendor's own pages, checked today. 🧵
5/ GitHub Copilot Max: $100
"Total monthly AI credits: $200 per month."
The only $100 plan here with a concrete number, at 1 credit = $0.01.
6/ So 3 of 4 don't tell you exactly what you get. The honest test is which one you hit the wall on least.
