Plan guide

How much coding do you get from Codex Plus?

$20/mo buys about 4 h/week of building at p50 peak (p10–p90 2–8) (source: community). Quality grades: strong planning, strong building, strong admin. Catalog note: Astra p50 ≈ 1h. Research treated Codex messages as model calls — too harsh; these are mid.

Hours by role

p10 / p50 / p90, h/week, at the plan's own clock. Peak and off-peak differ only where the vendor publishes a night rate.
