}What issue are you seeing?
GPT-5.3-Codex disappeared from my available models in Codex CLI and the Codex Desktop app.
I am using an active ChatGPT Plus subscription. Until yesterday, gpt-5.3-codex was available and I could use it
normally. Today, it is no longer available. The only models I can select in Codex Desktop are:
- GPT-5.5
- GPT-5.4
- GPT-5.4-mini
The same model availability appears to be reflected in the CLI as well, so this does not look like a Desktop-only UI
issue.
I did not intentionally change my account, workspace, subscription, or Codex configuration.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Sign in to Codex CLI with a ChatGPT Plus account.
- Check the available models / try selecting
gpt-5.3-codex. - Open Codex Desktop with the same account.
- Open the model picker.
- Observe that
gpt-5.3-codexis missing, while GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and GPT-5.4-mini are available.
This started on June 2, 2026. The same account had access to gpt-5.3-codex yesterday.
What is the expected behavior?
gpt-5.3-codex should still be available for my active ChatGPT Plus account in Codex CLI and Codex Desktop, or the
CLI/app should show a clear message if the model was intentionally removed, replaced, or made unavailable for this
account type.
Additional information
This may be a regression or model availability issue. The model was available with the same account yesterday and disappeared today without any visible notice.
Codex Desktop and CLI appear to show the same available model set, so I am filing this as a CLI/model availability bug rather than a Desktop-only issue.
