Hi Codex team,

Starting today, Codex on Windows has become extremely slow. I normally run four project tasks concurrently, mostly using GPT-5.6 Luna with Max reasoning.

This workflow worked normally before, but now the tasks frequently stall, remain in “Thinking” for a long time, and display “Reconnecting 5/5.”

Expected behavior

I need four project tasks to run concurrently and complete reliably. Reducing the number of concurrent tasks is only a temporary workaround and does not fit my normal workflow.

Actual behavior

  • Frequent “Reconnecting 5/5”
  • Tasks remain in “Thinking” for a long time
  • Projects take much longer than they did previously
  • The issue repeatedly occurs when several tasks are active

Environment

  • Windows Codex desktop app
  • App version: 26.803.10989.0
  • Model: mostly GPT-5.6 Luna
  • Reasoning level: Max
  • Concurrent workload: 4 project tasks

Request

Could you please investigate whether this is a client or concurrency regression?

Because the stalled and reconnecting runs have consumed usage without completing normally, I would also really appreciate a usage reset if possible.

Thank you, for your help. I really appreciate it, and thank you to the entire Codex team for looking into this.
