⚠️ stream error: stream disconnected before completion: Rate limit reached for gpt-5-codex in organization org
This annoying error keeps hindering my progress in coding. I'm already paying money via API credits but still this stupid error keeps bothering my coding experience.
I'm considering to switch to Claude Code which has better user experience than seeing thousands of this stupid error!
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Literally any task you ask the codex cli to do, after sometime starts throwing 1000s of these errors stupidly for anything. Usually starts when context reaches around 52% or less
What is the expected behavior?

Could you please use the
/feedbackslash command to upload the session and post the thread ID here? That will help us diagnose the problem.I realized even after I ran
npm i -g @openai/codex@latestit had not applied the updates yet and was using older version of codex-cli. I had to restart on a new terminal and the updated codex-cli version was used. In the latest version of codex-cli which is codex-cli 0.61.0 this problem no longer exists. So we can close this issue. Thank you.
