Thanks for the bug report.
You mentioned that you tried restarting the extension. Have you tried logging out and logging back in? In the extension, you can click on the gear icon, and you'll find the "Log out" menu item at the bottom of that menu.
It worked after logging back! Thanks!!!
I'm glad to hear that worked for you!
We think we understand the underlying issue, and we've incorporated a fix in the latest version of codex. Once the new version is published to Open VSIX, you should automatically get the update in Cursor. If you see this behavior (a 401 Unauthorized error) again with a version newer than 0.4.26, let us know.
