same, it seems to happen only in extremely long thinking threads.

Was flagged as "potentially violating usage policy". Thread ID was 019c4f21-6f56-71e0-8d6a-1ca2a8c6441a.

To the best of my understanding nothing in the project it is working on related to cyber security in any way.
The prompt was also written not by me but by codex itself, for a subagent.

"Your honor, you see, it wasn't me... it was my sub-agent.."

I'm seeing this error randomly in the middle of Codex working on its own, with no human input.

This basically trashes the entire turn, and moreover there is no way to report the mistaken flag.

Snippet:

[...]
I’ve now covered the main codecs and traversal paths. I’m doing a final pass on the wire primitives (fixed, varint, sink) and then I’ll validate any suspected edge case with a small repro test.

I'm also seeing this error in the middle of Codex working independently against a goal. It's not doing anything marginal or interesting, just completing some basic coding and testing stories against my own codebase (which is has mainly created). I've now had this error 4 times out of nowhere.
This is in the Windows App version 26.715.52143
Each time I type "resume" and it restarts.

Edit: Make that 5 times
Edit: Make that 6 times...
Edit: 7... 8... this is getting ridiculous. It's trying to run some tests and just keeps tripping itself up.

This latest version of the app 20/07/26 seems unstable - or maybe it's server-side. I'm not sure.
