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

0.111.0

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Mac (Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm) & WSL x86

What issue are you seeing?

Codex just stays in thinking mode and then eventually times out. Was getting responses fine earlier today, but seeing slow responses and general time outs right now across my Mac & WSL environments. Seeing the same with my app that uses the @openai/codex npm Typescript package too.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

simply asking a question times out.

What is the expected behavior?

I expect to see an answer to my question
