> We have increased rate limits in Claude Code to accommodate the higher token usage of higher effort levels
That really is some good news. Looks like they also reset everyone's weekly usage too.
Do you think Claude Max is worth it ? It seems cheaper than Codex Pro too
I use Max 5x and I've been getting quite a lot of value out of it. Claude has completely taken over maintenance of a few side projects I wasn't putting much effort into. The projects where I do the work myself, I use Claude for code review. My usage patterns are mapping almost exactly to the 7 day window, so I'm consistently getting 100% of the usage I paid for without having to wait a long time for the rollover.
I've never used Codex. Can't compare the two.
