This feature hasn't received enough upvotes, so closing.
Hi Eric @etraut-openai, I'm not sure if these are auto-closed, but they should be closed as "Not Planned", otherwise it makes it confusing with searches when people read these tickets.
For anyone interested, I have made a program which allows you to search, read and rename your Codex threads. It's a work in progress, but I use it 20 times a day.
