Account-pool scheduler for Claude/Codex CLI with token-based billing
A developer built Clidex after repeatedly hitting rate limits and juggling multiple accounts with Claude/Codex CLIs: a scheduling layer with an account pool that keeps the native CLI workflow, bills per token instead of monthly, and mitigates 429 interruptions. An 'Earn' side lets users with idle Claude/ChatGPT quota host it for income — a two-sided market around wasted subscription capacity.
The problem
Heavy Claude Code / Codex CLI users hit rate limits mid-task and manually switch accounts; subscriptions are flat-rate while usage is spiky, leaving paid quota idle. No tool keeps the native CLI experience while pooling accounts, scheduling around limits, and metering per token.
What could be built
A CLI-adjacent proxy: account pool with automatic failover on 429, per-token billing, native Claude/Codex CLI compatibility, plus a marketplace where users with idle quota earn from it. Distribution via the CLI communities already complaining about limits.
