What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.814.41957
What subscription do you have?
Plus
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
Issue: Codex Desktop Recents constantly flickers/refreshes, and some conversations disappear after restarting the app.
Already tried: Restarting Codex Desktop and fully restarting Windows. The issue persists.
Relevant log error:
routePattern=/conversations status=429 errorMessage={"detail":"Too many requests"}
The /conversations request appears to be repeatedly receiving HTTP 429 responses.
Observed behavior:
- Recents list constantly flickers/refreshes.
- Conversations sometimes disappear after restarting Codex.
- Issue persists after a full PC reboot.
This looks like a conversation synchronization/request loop or rate-limiting issue rather than a local temporary process problem.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Just normal use, it started acting this way
What is the expected behavior?
