What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.305.950 (863)

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.4.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

It’s been really disruptive. The message itself doesn’t give me much to go on, so I’m left not knowing whether there’s something I’m supposed to do differently, whether the service is partially down, or whether I just need to wait and try again.

What makes this more frustrating is that the status page often shows everything as operational, while Codex can still be unusable for several minutes or even up to an hour. Sometimes starting a new thread helps, but that’s a pretty rough workaround when I’m already deep into a thread with a lot of context and partially completed work.

I’d really appreciate either better reliability here or a more informative error message that makes it clearer what’s going on and what I’m meant to do next.
