I don't see the Codex CodeLens in your screenshot. Can you clarify the issue?
@gpeal for sure, here you see it:

just wanted to show with the bigger picture, that I tried to deactivate it
Does it go away if you reload the vs code window? It appears as if we don't respect changes live but if you reload the window, it should go away.
Closing because of no response.

You just need to reload VSCode after saving changes, works for me
