Having the same issue as of very few minutes ago. Stopping and re-requesting does nothing
Thanks for reporting the problem. The service is down in some geographies. The team is working on it. Closing in favor of https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/7156.
Happening the same, it answer some easy prompts like hellow, maybe do a step but end up stuck at thinking forever. Was working really well before.
