windows 11 gpt 5 codex version 0.19.0

I found out the Windows version and the version the apps refer to has a pretty wide gap. If you're running on Windows it seems to use the code within the codex-cli folder, which seems quite outdated. If you install and run the same npm package on WSL Ubuntu, though, you seem to get the application that is in the codex-rs folder, which matches up much better with the documentation (i.e., codex login actually works, etc.).

Still broken for me, though. Running hello prints:

Running /status prints:

I have pro and the quota we get is absurd.

+1 seeing this in 0.41.0 on an API key

Update: went away when I switched to logging in with chatgpt web.

Update 2: I think mine had to do with limits on my embeddings api usage, and not gpt-5-codex

I had this issue, but it was because I didn't have any pay as you go credits available for the API to consume, I was getting confused between "available budget" and what credits I had.

Once I topped up my pay as you go credits in Settings > Billing it was fine.
