Can you check if you have hit the token/rate limit for your current plan? Is this behavior limited to the extension or it also happens to the codex cli?

I have NOT hit the limit and it happens in both the extension and codex-cli. This issue has lasted at least 24 hours now.

Can you attempt to log out and log in again? For CLI you can do \codex login\ and extension can be re-authed via the settings icon at the top right of the chat.

Logging out and back in from both the extension and cli worked. Thanks.

delete OPENAI_API_BASE in env ;) I had hunch it would be the cause. Worked for me
