Reddit user reports Terra 6.1 burns Codex allowance with little completed work
A Reddit user with 185 days of daily Codex use says Terra 6.1 can consume 15% of a weekly allowance quickly while completing little work. They report that Medium and High effort settings often fail or stop halfway through, requiring Sol to review and repair the output. The comparison with Claude Opus 5.5 and claims about costs and regional feature access are personal experiences, not independently verified benchmarks.
The post provides a first-hand signal about Terra 6.1’s perceived efficiency, reliability, and subscription-limit consumption within Codex, though one user’s experience does not establish product-wide performance.
Explain this to me: With my $100 Claude subscription, I burn through my weekly limits slower using Opus 5.5 on Medium than I do with my $100 OpenAI subscription doing basic tasks. And in my experience, Opus absolutely destroys Terra 6.1 at any effort level.
I've been using Codex every single day for 185 days. Back when I started with GPT-5.5, exhausting my weekly limit was genuinely difficult, usually only possible with heavy Fast Mode usage. Now Terra 6.1 can burn through 15% of my weekly allowance in no time, with barely anything accomplished. Sure, I could use Terra on Medium or High, but then it either fails to complete tasks correctly or simply gives up halfway through. Sol has to review and fix everything afterward, wasting even more time and tokens. How exactly is that more efficient?
And before someone brings up those impressive-looking 3D demos: I've seen the tests. Most results are a joke. Terra on Max can deliver decent quality, but at roughly 90% higher cost than Sol 6.1 Medium, which achieves comparable results. Where's the value? Even if Terra 6.1 was designed for Dots, **where the hell is Dots in Europe?** Every time OpenAI releases features unavailable to European subscribers while charging us the same full price, it feels like we're getting ripped off. To be fair, Anthropic, Google, and others are guilty of this too.
