What version of Codex CLI is running?
0.117.0

Pro
Which model were you using?
gpt 5.3 Codex, gpt 5.4 (fast for both)
Note: I am using 5.4 Pro with extended thinking on the web to solve some tasks, it does feel like when I am running these rather large tasks on the web, it slows down the speed of codex cli, not sure if this is an account throttling issue.

Ubuntu
