yup this happens to me as well
Same. This is blowing up multiple active workstreams
Same here. Using Windows 11, Codex experimental sandbox on Powershell.
Same here on mac
They seem to have an outage again. Thread
019a555c-f8f9-7183-83fa-7c482c4646c0yeah, seems like an outage
Same, Ubuntu 24.04.03 definitely an outage
Can confirm, the model will start working and then abruptly stop (I get the turn done notification triggered in my script as well). I've tried starting new sessions, switching models (GPT5/Codex medium/high), but everything leads to the model immediately abandoning attempts.
Arch Linux x86_64
Linux 6.17.7-zen1-1-zen
KDE Plasma 6.5.1 (Wayland, nvidia drivers)
Version: codex-cli 0.55.0

Same here, arch. OAI fucked something, doesnt seem to be the CLI, probably the API itself?

I just started having this issue in windows about 5-10 minutes ago. I tried changing the models as well. It works for 4-5 seconds and stops.

having the same issue here
019a554d-70e5-7023-8882-52ff3eca8fe2Sequoia 15.5@openai/codex@0.56.0-alpha.2, same behavior on the latest regular@openai/codexwhen testing as well1.2.1Same here...
same
Specifically it seems like it fails when it has to do any tool calls. Just pure chatting works fine
same
same
Same with normal API usage. Here is what my LangGraph agent says:
same with review
\>\> Code review started: current changes <<
<< Code review finished >>
This is the problem, improper response formatting for tool calls coming back from the API right now.. Someone accidentally hit publish without a proper review on the API side potentially. Cause it does seem like just talking to it works ok.
Seems that the model is still live, just the wrapper for CLI and GUI in ide is breaking

We had a temporary service outage that affected codex. Should be working again now. Let us know if you're still seeing a problem.
