Codex stuck in Loops
Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Feb 16, 2026 by thom-heinrich Closed Feb 16, 2026
I am an ultra heavy codex user, keeping track on basically every metric you can ablate from the tool.
Currently gpt 5.2 xhigh tends to a) forget where it was b) treat it own responses as user input and c) "solves" the same problems over and over again - this happens also with plan mode.
This leads at the moment to a drastically worse performance and the resolution rate is from ~40% in my repo down to around ~10% or lower. It struggles with basic tasks like browser automation, prompt compiling etc...
I am using Codex CLI as Pro User /w GPT 5.2 xhigh and the latest release.
