Use this in the feedback box:
Repeated automatic context compaction after every prompt/task.
Codex is repeatedly hitting the context limit after nearly every single prompt or autonomous task. Even with normal usage, it runs for only about 15–20 seconds before it starts automatically compacting context again.
This has been happening continuously for around 9-10 hours in the same session and makes Codex extremely difficult to use. It seems to happen after almost every task, not just occasionally.
Please check whether this is a bug or an issue with my current session/account. I’ve included the current Codex session logs.
Keep Bug selected and leave Include current Codex session logs checked.
