High Risk Cyber Activity Bug

I am continually getting the message saying: "⚠ 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"

This happens even without using gpt-5.3-codex. It has happened with gpt-5.2-codex (any reasoning), and GPT5.2 (high or xhigh). I am randomly getting switched to GPT5.2 (medium) whilst Codex is mid-work.

Openai support just seems to be ignoring me and sending stock answers.

I am showing as verified on https://chatgpt.com/cyber and I have tried logging out of codex and back in, and uninstalling and reinstalling. I have also tried on another separate system and encountered the same error.

Thanks for the bug report. We're continuing to tune our cyber safety classifiers to make them more accurate. You can read more about this here. If you see this again in the future and believe it's a false positive (i.e. you aren't doing anything related to cybersecurity), please use the /feedback slash command and choose "Safety Check" to report it. That will help us further tune our checks.

Hi, this didnt address the bug report at all.

I am verified, and even with models that aren't gpt 5.3 codex I'm getting kicked back to 5.2 medium constantly.
