Codex API activity logging in platform.openai.com/logs

Resolved 💬 0 comments Opened Feb 5, 2026 by darlingm Closed Mar 20, 2026

What issue are you seeing?

When Codex CLI is configured to use my API key, and I send prompts to an OpenAI model and my API account is billed, platform.openai.com/logs in the responses tab doesn't show the activity.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Configure Codex CLI to use an API key - not a chatgpt.com account.
  2. Start a new Codex CLI session, and send a prompt to the OpenAI model.
  3. Visit platform.openai.com/logs, and see that under the responses tab no activity was logged.

What is the expected behavior?

If the API key is going to be billed for usage, the account holder should be able to audit that activity in the website logs.

Additional information

#2681 reported that this changed as of August 9, 2025. Its creator closed it, without a OpenAI response.
#3572 reported this same bug. OpenAI closed it several months later without comment, marking it as completed.

Using Codex CLI 0.98.0. I submitted /feedback with thread ID 019c2f8d-d03c-79a2-9cb3-c5a40e402150.

$ codex login status
Logged in using an API key - sk-proj-***rOawA

Setting disable_response_settings = false didn't help. That key wasn't in my config, but I tried it just in case the default had been changed to true.
