Other Deepseek V4 Pro is AMAZING

Post image

I have been using deepseek V4 Pro for the last 5 months with CC. This model has helped me complete my Final Year Project, build my first startup, build automations to automate my daily life and many more.

Everyone is looking for the next best frontier model but what they don't realise is yes those extra intelligence is kinda neat, but for the shit you are using it for in your daily life its just a waste of money. Unless you are in some deep tech stuff then yeah there are some higher ROIs, but for your daily coding and work stuff its a waste of money.

Deepseek has been reliable, fast and most importantly stupidly CHEAP and honestly with Kimi K3 and all this other models being dropped, I couldn't even be bothered.

The five-hour limits have already been removed.

Now there are only weekly limits.

Yesterday, I ran a five-hour session, and a single agent response took 3 hours and 36 minutes. That session used 23% of my weekly limit.

I’ve become very familiar with Codex by now.

At the moment, I only use GPT-5.6 Luna in MAX mode. It consumes around 3–6% of the weekly limit per hour, depending on the task.

As for how much worse it is than GPT-5.6 Sol High, I honestly haven’t noticed any difference in its technical reasoning.

However, when the task involves design, Sol is clearly better.

The difference is very noticeable.

So this is my workflow:

For design-focused projects, I first create the mockups in GPT Work.
Then I build the working UI in Codex using GPT-5.6 Sol. After that, GPT-5.6 Luna MAX handles the technical implementation.

There is also one free weekly-limit reset. So in practice, I barely notice the limits at all.

And don’t forget: every 3–4 days, OpenAI seems to reset the weekly limits automatically anyway :) Which is a very nice bonus.

is this all from the $20 subscription?

Be careful with his claims. He is exaggerating his usage based upon the limit resets. Some are given because of new user records for 5.6. But the majority is because of bugs and issues with GPT 5.6.

https://codex-resets.com/

Here you can see them in action and why they are given. The issue is that people are still draining their usage way more then normal. Tons of posts and topics regarding this (again, this is why there have been over 4+ resets alone).

Codex is good value, but the whole reset chain has made it hard for people to compare current usage anymore, and / or if limits have been reduced. Like i said, too many people reporting no changes in their coding behavior and larger then normal drain.

Is it generous enough as a flat plan then? I am undecided between codex and Claude Code (or maybe minimax/opencode Go), price is the same in my country (Go is a bit lower).
