What issue are you seeing?
please fix Linux Codex CLI 🙏
For 3+ months I haven’t been able to use it with my paid Pro acct (browser auth).
/status confirms I’m logged in, but I can’t communicate with it. Every message returns:
🖐 unexpected status 401 Unauthorized: {"error":{"message":"No auth credentials found","code":401}}
I’ve re-logged in many times. Doesn’t work.
I update Codex every week to the latest version — same result.
Others are getting the same issue and I’ve already filed a bug.
