Summary

Share the most usage-saving Codex configuration: Model 5.6 Sol, Effort set to Extra High or Max, Speed set to Standard. Ultra speed is ineffective, Fast consumes too many tokens.

After testing Codex, the most usage-saving configuration: - Model 5.6 Sol - Effort: Extra High or Max - Speed: Standard Ultra is hard to use (just spawns multiple sub agents), Fast works well but consumes too many tokens. Ultra + Fast can burn through the 5h limit in a single task. With this configuration, you can consume 2x-3x the tokens. https://t.co/RdsskIX9o8

The most usage-efficient configuration for Codex based on practice:

  • Model: 5.6 Sol
  • Effort: Choose Extra High or Max
  • Speed: Choose Standard

Ultra is hard to use (it just spawns multiple sub-agents), Fast works great but consumes too many tokens. A single task with Ultra + Fast can exhaust the 5h limits.

With this configuration, you can consume 2x-3x more tokens. https://t.co/RdsskIX9o8

This article shares how to significantly improve quota efficiency and conserve your subscription allowance by configuring Codex’s subagent models (using GPT-6.1 Sol for the main work and delegating miscellaneous tasks to GPT-6 Luna), dividing responsibilities between scout/fixer subagents, and using AGENTS.md rules and prompt templates.

@SUOHA_AI: You must change how you use Codex — the results will be an order of magnitude better. 90% of people treat Codex like a god and go straight to /goal: help me write an app. In reality, it can hardly understand your specific needs.
