What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.519.31651 (3017)
What subscription do you have?
Pro
What platform is your computer?
macOS Apple Silicon
What issue are you seeing?
In previous versions of Codex App, I could see the current context window percentage used near the send button.
In the recent version, that indicator is gone.
I am referring specifically to the LLM context window usage indicator, not account usage, credit usage, or rate-limit usage.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open Codex App.
- Start or open a thread.
- Look near the send button.
- The context window percentage used indicator is no longer visible.
What is the expected behavior?
The app should show the context window percentage used near the send button, as it did before.
Additional information
This appears to be a regression or a quiet UI change. If it was intentionally removed, it would be useful to know where that context-window usage signal is now exposed in the app.

Once activated, the
/statuspanel keeps displaying the context window at all times for new and existing threads, not just on demand.I activate it by typing
/statusand then selecting theStatus Toggle Context Usageoverlay popup.<img width="727" height="134" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7ddb4af2-b612-4880-9148-28d94c82b8f6" />
Once it's activated, it stays on all the time for the current and future threads:
