Ask HN: How do you feel about the new 5H usage limit in Codex?

Recently OpenAI decided to add back the 5-hour usage limits for all plans except the Pro ones (I think?), was submitted here among others: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49432879

Are you hitting the limits faster than expected now? Does it get in the way of real work? Personally I'm not able to be productive even knowing there is a limit, so hard to imagine how it is for others who are more fine with it, yet maybe hit the current limits sometimes, curious to know how people feel about it.

    Yes and yes. I've so far switched from Sol to Terra but not sure even that will be sufficient. This also feels like it neuters a lot of the utility of banked/paid resets, since I'm not willing to re-up the weekly limit when I'm at 50% or whatever, but can no longer use it after hitting the 5h limit.
