What variant of Codex are you using?
APP
What feature would you like to see?
When i check rate limits remaining on the app, I often accidentally click logout. There is no confirmation popup or anything and it just logs me out. Either a confirm or a minor redesign of how things are placed would be very useful.

Thanks for the suggestion.
We've also had requests to make the "rate limits remaining" more visible. I think that would also help alleviate this pain point.
Yes - if I don't have to expand the toggle every time, that would solve it
I wanted to add another vote for this.
In the Codex app, checking the remaining quota is something users may do fairly often, so having "Log out" so close to it makes accidental clicks more likely than it seems at first glance. When that happens, being logged out immediately without a confirmation step makes the experience more disruptive.
This would be a small change, but I think it would have a meaningful impact on everyday usability. A confirmation dialog, a bit more separation, or both would help a lot.
I'm surprised this is not the default.
+1 - I’ve run into this a few times and it’s pretty annoying to get logged out by accident. A simple confirmation dialog would go a long way for UX here. Happy to see this being considered 🙌
