Codex Desktop: context usage indicator disappeared from chat window

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened May 22, 2026 by shezhidian Closed May 22, 2026

The latest Codex Desktop update appears to have removed or hidden the context usage progress indicator from the chat window.

This is a regression because context usage is critical for deciding when to compact the conversation, start a new thread, or avoid quality degradation in long-running tasks.

Please restore the context usage percentage/progress indicator, or provide an equally visible replacement in the Codex Desktop UI.
