A developer's analysis comparing Claude Pro and OpenAI's Codex for agent tasks revealed a significant difference in usage limits. Claude Pro allowed for approximately 36 agent-hours per week, while Codex, under ChatGPT Plus, provided only about 3 to 3.5 agent-hours. This disparity is attributed to how each service meters repeated context reads, which are common in agent workloads, rather than API cache pricing or output token limits. The developer suggests that for agents heavily reliant on cached context, subscription value should be assessed by the amount of repeated context consumption permitted. AI
