Summary
On Codex CLI 0.144.4, the Fast mode status is inconsistent between the CLI commands and the TUI status line.
What happened
I started a Codex session with the following configuration:
service_tier = "fast"
Then I ran:
/fast off
Codex responded:
Fast mode is off.
I then verified it by running:
/fast status
which again returned:
Fast mode is off.
However, the status line at the bottom of the TUI still displays:
gpt-5.6-sol high fast
This makes the current service tier unclear because the command output and the TUI disagree.
I understand that service_tier = "fast" may represent a persisted default configuration, but after /fast off I expected the current session indicator to no longer display fast.
Because of this inconsistency, it is difficult to determine whether subsequent requests are actually using the Standard tier or the Fast tier.
