Brief
The post by @itsandrewgao questions whether people who don’t write code encounter token-usage limits on Claude/Codex plans, noting a belief that coding workflows typically consume about 10–100 times more tokens than other tasks and implying non-coders may therefore be less likely to hit plan caps.
