I'm curious what percentage of claude/codex users this is true for - I assumed their business models rely on this not being true for the majority.

Both Claude Code and Codex steer you towards the monthly subscription. Last time I tried Codex, I remember several aspects of it being straight up broken if used with an API key instead of a subscription account.

The business model is likely built upon the assumption that most people aren't going to max out their limits every day, because if they were, it likely wouldn't be profitable.
