What version of Codex is running?

.45

Which model were you using?

gpt5 codex high

What platform is your computer?

Ubuntu 24.04

What steps can reproduce the bug?

/compact xxxx does not compact, it has same low context and two or three tries later it says "■ Codex ran out of room in the model's context window. Start a new conversation
or clear earlier history before retrying."

/compact alone simply gives me the same message above.

lets just say my mood -- i might need a new keyboard.. im not a happy camper
