Codex task stuck on Thinking for over 20 minutes

Open 💬 3 comments Opened May 27, 2026 by GGBondBlueWhale

I encountered a Codex task that has been stuck on Thinking for more than 20 minutes with no further response or progress.

Details:

  • Feedback ID: 019e6790-0585-7ec0-978e-f488e623a1c5
  • Codex app version: 26.519.81530 (3178)
  • Model/depth shown in UI: 5.5 Extra High
  • Device: MacBook Pro 16-inch, Apple M5 Max, 128 GB memory
  • macOS: Tahoe 26.5
  • Task context: the task had already edited files and run commands, then remained stuck at Thinking indefinitely

Expected behavior:
Codex should either continue responding, complete the task, or surface an actionable error instead of remaining stuck indefinitely.

Please investigate and help resolve this as soon as possible.
