Same. After reverting the extension to 0.4.39, it works again.

Same. Following the release of GPT-5.1, this error has arisen.

Thanks for the bug report. There's not enough information here for us to diagnose the issue, so I'm going to close. If you see similar behaviors in the future, please use the recently-added /feedback command to report the problem if you're using the CLI. We'll be adding support for /feedback to the extension soon.

Rather than closing it, maybe fix it.
I have same problem.

I asked what was the problem and it talked about the edit tool 8 minute timeout.
I'm on windows on a .net project.
