Outdated tooltip: "Codex is included in your plan for free through March 2nd"

What issue are you seeing?

The Codex CLI displays the following tooltip on startup:

"New Codex is included in your plan for free through March 2nd – let’s build together."

However the current date is already past March 2nd.

Looking at the source, the message appears to come from the fallback tooltip for Free/Go plans:

codex-rs/tui/src/tooltips.rs
FREE_GO_TOOLTIP constant

This tooltip is used when:

  • no announcement tip is fetched from announcement_tip.toml
  • plan == PlanType::Free or PlanType::Go

Since the date has passed, the message is now outdated.

Possibly the fallback string should be updated or replaced with a neutral message.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

just launch codex cli

What is the expected behavior?

probably not tip being displayed.
