Is a Codex-Free vs. Plus limits comparison possible?

depends on a lot of variable: reasoning level, speed, the prompt / task at hand, MCPs, agent.md, etc etc etc
But from my experience I have almost never hit the limits. I have never actully hit the weekly limit. And I hit the 5 hour limit once but only had to wait maybe an hour til it reset. plus you can just top up anyways.
