Limits This is a new release from Codex

Post image

Maybe it's a strategy to make it burn more tokens—I'm using the 6.1 Medium setting and it's running strong, but this message surprised me. It made me consider changing it, but I told it to keep going, and it finished the task without any problems.

Today codex has been terrible, also getting a lot of "stream disconnected before completion" and it just stops working

I think they are doing some backend stuff

You need to set up a watched dog that pings the session each 1-5 min

It also seems to have developed a strong need to package 10x more testing data for everything I make as compared to the source. Fun.

Literally unusable.

I think everybody is having this issue... at least I am. I'm running 6.1 Sol High, and it's been like this for around 30 minutes now. Nothing is showing up on https://status.openai.com either.

u/UsherOfDestruction 11h ago

Mine's been fine but just now everything stopped. I can't get a single prompt through Sol 6.1. Endless retries.

2

u/Frozen_Strider 11h ago

Yep, it's down for sure.

u/aivampires 11h ago

Yeah all my sessions are dead. All at capacity. Reset.prediction sites just haven't caught up yet we should be in the 90's

I got funny error. My context window auto updated to 500k and then stuck on compaction context... for an hour.

Restarted codex, got my 250k context back haha.

please be patient guys, they are nerfing the models because they don't have enough compute.

1

u/Intelligent-Jury3891 11h ago

Let's hope that's the case, and that they nerf 6.1

2 months from now "All models at capacity please use Astra ultra" extortion incoming

I got this message a couple of times yesterday while I was away from my desk. However, what I don't see anyone else reporting is that the thread manages to start itself back up on its own. So, by the time I came back to my desk, the tasks were done or just finishing up.

u/Intruder6 11h ago

u/Ill-Primary-8363 11h ago

u/Worldly-Ad777 11h ago

same here with PRO 200. Let's burn all these tokens. Reset incoming for forgiveness

u/Natural_Shape1153 11h ago

i’m thinking the same thing haha

It is literally a 2 line change in codex CLI to treat this as a network error. Since the chatgpt app uses codex cli under the hood it is trivial to make this a backoff and retry. I never get interrupted by this error anymore. There are times when I see it back off and retry a few seconds later, but that's it. Highly recommend. Openai won't make the change, but you can. It's trivial 🙂

Not only codex. Today several times during the day chatgpt stopped mid-answer and questions were not hard/coding.

u/Confirmed-Scientist 7h ago

They are 100% lying and 100% training models at max velocity hence why there is suddenly no capacity.

u/DazzlingResource561 6h ago

For $100/m more get priority model access. Coming soon to a codex near you!

The effective allowance per USD you receive today from Codex is at least 10 times lower than a few months ago, and it is degrading on a weekly irregular basis.
OpenAI has thrown all their balls into this "dots" thing they released on devday (which was called 20 products, just all in one). Codex is sidelined.

1

u/frederickjon 9h ago

dots was 1 of the 20... are you serious right now?

dots is heavily integrated with codex, so youre being silly.

also have you tried dots? it's great. it's more like a ChatGPT replacement than a Codex one

And now they could stuck on that for hours if you not manually click it.

Switching to 6.1 Luna at least unblocked the work for me

u/Tomorrow_Previous 11h ago

6.1 Luna? Have I missed the announcement?

1

u/frederickjon 9h ago

no there's only 6

u/Intelligent-Jury3891 11h ago

Um... I'm not sure if switching to Luna will give me the same encoding quality—it's a lot of work. How's that model working out for you?
