Wow I finally used Codex enough to where I have 20 percent usage left and it doesn't reset until Wednesday.
Thinking of either buying credits, trying some Gemini CLI or Claude, or looking at other tools. Not ready to spend $100/200 a month yet.
There are also some tasks that I could start doing with Codex 5.1 Mini to save credits, and some things I was admittedly lazy on that I could do without AI entirely.
Curious what others in the space are using. Not looking for the anti AI answers here :)

@Jage No no this is the fediverse. If you have ever used AI even once, for captions, alt text, or language translation, you are guilty of war crimes against humanity. No but seriously, look at openrouter.ai. If you're using codex-cli, you can just change the endpoint to openrouter, get an API key from them, and then pay per token. Or just use this fork with built-in openrouter support: github.com/ymichael/open-codex

@fastfinge @Jage Openrouter is expensive for top models. When claud 4.5 came out I went through $5 fast on there. GO direct if you can for the expensive stuff. I know openrouter lets you add API keys from other places, but I was never able to get that working.

@serrebi @fastfinge Ya I'd prefer to stick with monthly fees since you seem to get more mileage if you use them a lot. OpenRouter is great for trying out new things or for image description tools.

@fastfinge @Jage DOn't forget the use of windows. That breaks the mainframe. Please use Linux.

@tired_and_wired @fastfinge @Jage Linux is love, Linux is life... Some nerd probably.
