What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.46.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5

What platform is your computer?

Linux

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Ask it to do anything... it always says "I will do that" but then never does it. That's the experience all the time. Useless tool. Claims it will work and ends the conversation with that claim.

What is the expected behavior?

Actually works. Is this real life that I'm reporting issues like this?

What do you see instead?

Stops and does nothing.

Thanks for the bug report. We've shared the feedback with the team members who are responsible for training our codex models. We're tracking this feedback and similar reports so we can make the model more robust in future iterations.

If you see other model behavior that you'd like to report, please use the recently-added /feedback command in the CLI. That will provide us with additional details including logs and conversation text.

It is THE ONLY model that refuses to work, read code etc.
I guess this is the end and will never renew the subscription!..
