What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.707.41301

What subscription do you have?

plus

What platform is your computer?

mac

What issue are you seeing?

Scheduled tasks won't run if both codex app and chatgpt classic is open. it used to that it will run a task even if my macbook is closed(sleep). Now after updating to the new codex, it will say "Scheduled tasks won't run while chatgpt is closed.". If i exit chatgpt classic, the schedule will work.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

create a task(say hi at 12:15 or the next minute), close the laptop. I have both Codex and Chatgpt Classic running, and tasks used to run if i have my laptop closed. Scheduled tasks will only run if i close Chatgpt Classic.

What is the expected behavior?

Scheduled tasks should run when both Codex App and Chatgpt classic are both running.
