■ Error running remote compact task: unexpected status 403 Forbidden: {"detail":"User user-UohKSdccvQjUQKCPXoK4dqB2 does not have access to any accounts"}

What steps can reproduce the bug?

When using the new gpt-5.1-codex-max model with reasoning_effort set to xhigh, whenever the context left gets to approximately 5-6%, the model tries to use the new auto compacting feature and that just fails with errors like the ones in the issue description above (Error running remote compact task).

What is the expected behavior?

I would expect that the remote compact task succeeded, but it seems there's an issue with the returned response from the compacting request being malformed or invalid, and sometimes there's an authentication error.

Thanks for the bug report. Can you run /feedback and post the thread ID here?

We're actively working on a fix for a reported problem with the remote compact feature, but we'd like to confirm that the problem you're seeing is the same underlying issue.

@0xca11 do you get does not have access to any accounts error if you manually call /compact ? Does it happen every time?

Can you try /compact on an an empty session?

I only got that does not have access to any accounts error once when it was trying to automatically compact. I hadn't tried manually calling /compact before, but I just called it on that same session and got this same error from before: ■ Error running remote compact task: invalid type: null, expected a string at line 98 column 4.

When calling /compact on an empty session it succeeded with this message:
