What variant of Codex are you using?

cli/app

What feature would you like to see?

Many of us have codex work overnight on big ambiguous tasks that are meant to take a long time. I could see value in a "overnight" mode that works in a slower than regularly (to help with compute demand on your end and potentially benefit from more batch-like pricing) but also is intentionally prompted to work deeper and investigate more throughly (perhaps a minimum work time feature would be interesting where a agent just has to keep looping for a given amount of time to force it to keep going against the task but obv would have to tell it what to do when it hits a wall).
