gpt-5.4 high

What platform is your computer?

windows

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

powershell

What issue are you seeing?

设置fast模式之后 如果/fast 关闭fast 无效,必须得重启才行
监测请求发现如果一开始设置了关闭fast 打开codex cli 是正常的,一旦切换到 fast on 之后 在切换回去 请求头中依然带有service_tier: "priority" 参数,导致fast不能热生效必须重启

What steps can reproduce the bug?

启动 codex cli 之前 设置 # service_tier = "fast" 为不开启
启动之后 /fast 设置 fast on
请求一次后 再次设置 /fast off
请求依然带有 service_tier: "priority"

What is the expected behavior?

预期是解决 /fast on 切换 off 不生效的问题

English translation:

After enabling fast mode, running /fast to turn it off does not work.
The change only takes effect after restarting the CLI.

From inspecting the requests:

If fast mode is initially disabled before launching Codex CLI, everything works correctly.
However, once fast mode is turned on, then turned off, the request headers still include
service_tier: "priority".
As a result, fast mode cannot be disabled dynamically and requires a restart to take effect.
Steps to Reproduce

Before starting Codex CLI, ensure:

service_tier = "fast"

is disabled

Launch Codex CLI
Run /fast to enable fast mode
Make a request
Run /fast off to disable fast mode

Observe that subsequent requests still include:

service_tier: "priority"
