I’m currently using two setups in parallel: Codex via VS Code (with the weekly reset) and AI Assistant Business in PhpStorm, which comes with 20 monthly credits.

In practice, I mainly use AI Assistant in PhpStorm for generating PR comments and doing self-reviews, while I rely on Codex more for agent-based workflows and deeper coding tasks in VS Code. So far, I’ve been a bit hesitant to use agents in AI Assistant because I’m unsure how quickly the 20 monthly credits get consumed.

Because of that, I’ve limited my AI Assistant usage mostly to lighter tasks, even though I’m considering whether it might make sense to shift more of my workflow (including agents) into PhpStorm.

I’m curious how this works out for others in real-world usage: how quickly do the credits get used when you work with AI Assistant more intensively, especially with agents? Have the 20 monthly credits been sufficient for you, or do you find yourself hitting limits?

Hello, Junie. Hello, Agent.
