@sushiionwest, did you successfully make it through the Trusted Access verification process, or did it say that your ID was not accepted?
@etraut-openai Sir , this is probably the 4th thread that I contribute to, and I think you need to bring the hammer down on the system. I'm on .103. I'm verified for the last 5 days. I was part of the first silent kickback, then yesterday I was part of the second one (all after verifying) and now after it worked for a bit I'm back to getting "Your account was flagged for potentially high-risk cyber activity and this request was
routed to gpt-5.2 as a fallback. To regain access to gpt-5.3-codex, apply for trusted
access: https://chatgpt.com/cyber or learn more: https://developers.openai.com/codex/
concepts/cyber-safety"
and the funny thing is it is kicking me down to 5.2 medium, from 5.2 xhigh, even when I'm not even using 5.3-codex.
so I launch codex cli, it goes change the model to 5.2 xhigh, get the message, kicks me down to 5.2 medium, I stop it change it to xhigh in the same session and it works.
at this moment you guys can have 5.3 I don't care about it, just stop with this gibberish hidden verification system and just state exactly what you need and I will submit it and do not have this hidden "hits" system.
this is the same system that is probably tripping codex over it's own test time compute thinking prompts .
absolutely ridiculous. that is more than 5 days of my pro plan having to fight with codex
Yeah, I got it up and running, thank you. I am concerned about having to share my identity in the first place. If it wasn't intentional, I would really like for it to be deleted.
