Claude is a great model for me, but unfortunately, its quota is often insufficient. It seems that many people are now considering Codex as an alternative. If the quota is sufficient, I believe many people will continue to use the Claude Code model.
Neither Claude, nor Codex, nor Claude Code are models.
Claude is a series of models (Claude Sonnet X, Claude Opus X, etc.), Claude Code is their development CLI that uses their models, and Codex is the same as Claude Code but from OpenAI.
Ultimately the quota is linked to neither of those 3 directly, rather to which specific model you invoke.
Codex is not better anymore. It appears they nerfed their quota a few weeks ago. I never used to hit my 5 hr limit, now I always do. Sometimes in like 2 prompts.
Codex was running a 2x usage promotion from around the time when Claude introduced rate limiting during peak hours, until May 31st. The various relevant subreddits were (more) insufferable: just 1000 posts per day to the tune of "Just switched the codex! So much more usage!" only to have that tone flip immediately after the promo ran out.
