Codex Desktop App uses credits from the original account even after switching to a different Plus account

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.429.61741 (2429)

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.8.0-110-generic x86_64 x86_64

What issue are you seeing?

I am currently connected to a remote SSH server(Linux 6.8.0-110-generic x86_64 x86_64) through Codex desktop app in macOS(Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm). I switched accounts after reaching usage limits in my first account. Even after switching the account, all requests are still attributed to the first account. Creating a new thread and starting a a conversation also atrributes the credits to the first account. But /status points to the latest account.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

(Connected to an ssh server through Codex Desktop)

  1. Log in to Account A.
  2. Start a chat thread and send a message. Usage is correctly billed to Account A.
  3. Log out or switch to Account B.
  4. Continue the conversation in the same thread from Step 2.
  5. Observed Behavior: Usage for the new messages is still attributed to Account A. But /status shows account B status

What is the expected behavior?

Usage and telemetry should be attributed to the currently logged-in account (Account B).

Additional information

I have logged into Account B in codex desktop app, ssh server directly and codex cli as well. This issue doesn't occur if I use codex cli in the ssh server but happens when using Codex Desktop app connected to ssh server.
Crating a new conversation in the local machine attributed the usage to Account B while all new and old conversations in the ssh project attributed it to account A.

I have already checked the issue #14730 but the solution in the thread did not help as this is specific to ssh connections through codex.
