Stream error : unexpected status 413 Payload Too Large (with 92% context left)
What version of Codex is running?
0.27.0 the same happens on 0.25.0 and 0.26.0
Which model were you using?
GPT-5 Medium and High
What platform is your computer?
Linux 6.16.3-lqx1-1-lqx x86_64 unknown
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Simply after GPT-5 try to read a small snippet of the file, it will start flooding with 413 errors, retrying continuously, non stop.
What is the expected behavior?
It should probably return a concise error, for either, authentication timeout (which is my main guess here), or how the payload exceeded the limit : was it in tokens ? what paload ? was it related to a MCP call ?
What do you see instead?
