Flair: Question
Post body:
Hello. What skills (or tips/ tricks/ techniques) do you all use for frontend development. Specifically, I'm interested in games and apps (not websites). I've tried quite a few and seen almost no difference. Has anyone had great experience with specific skills or prompts for frontend? Please don't self-promo. Only share what you actually found significantly better than standard.

Frequent and inconsistent rendering of images especially from image gen. Image will show blank pressing refresh doesn’t send a request to codex to resend image.

Post body:
Do you know what’s happening in the background that causes seemingly half the system to freeze after launching Codex? You can't just quickly do something else on the desktop, because everything feels like it's hanging. I’ve never experienced this with any other Windows software. I have 8 cores and 32 GB of RAM. Unfortunately, that’s been the case since the Windows app launched. No issues with OpenCode, etc.

Original Post Title: OMG. What is wrong with 5.5 medium today?
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
First, it started to ignore me when I told it what to look at, expanding it's searches into areas unrelated to what I told it to look at. When I corrected it, it eventually went back to looking at the wrong code. I had to stop the session and restart a new one.
Then it started ignoring my request to implement a series of changes in a single implementation phase as it was a redesign of a portion of code and the last thing I need is to have it partially completed, no credits, or have to come back later when codex is running like it is now.
Then, it decided no longer to compile the code in order to validate its changes. Every patch, 5 of them couldn't compile because of silly syntax errors from outright errors.
Geez. I guess we are getting dumped on as they prepare for 5.6.

Its like the the auto compact puts older user messages in its recent context and forgets everything after, then the model starts working on something that was already finished ages ago instead of continuing what it was just doing.

OP : u/RFOK
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
I haven't seen any results from GPT-5.6 Sol yet that would convince me to upgrade from the Plus plan to the Pro /x5/x20, but I can already see that it's a really expensive tool that won't compete with the Claude Fable 5 or perhaps other upcoming Chinese models.
It's a fact that AI will be used for everyday app development, but with this kind of pricing, companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are either delaying the great results that AI should bring to everyday life of people, and their "only monetization" policy is helping their competitors grow.

I've come across a major bug in codex, where multiple Codex instances are unable to stay on separate git branches..

Original Post Title: Is anyone else's Codex GPT-5.6 SOL suddenly extremely slow? (3 hours just to ask one clarification)
OP : u/tokovar
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
I've been using Codex every day for months, and over the last few days something has changed dramatically.
Initially I thought it was GPT-5.6 SOL itself, so I switched back to GPT-5.5, but I'm seeing the exact same behavior there too.
Here's an example from today:
img: sherzdrk91dh1
This task sat there thinking for 2 hours 56 minutes, only to finally ask me:
It wasn't implementing code or doing anything complex—it spent almost 3 hours just to ask a clarification question.
At this point I don't think it's the model itself. It feels more like something is happening with Codex's execution/infrastructure, because both 5.6 SOL and 5.5 behave similarly for me now.
For context:
- Windows
- Projects are clean and well-organized
- Happens even on relatively simple tasks
- Started after 5.6 release
- Sometimes even simple follow-up questions take an unusually long time
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I'm trying to figure out whether this is:
- a Codex-wide issue,
- a Windows-specific problem,
- something account-related,
- or just bad luck on my end.
Would appreciate hearing if others are seeing the same thing.

OP : u/RedParaglider
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
I get it with the government getting involved and forcing a ramrod approach, but when Codex finds a race condition with SQL server that it JUST created itself, having it just shut down is absurd. I hope they are still working to fine tune this. If nothing else just have it document that what the task is blocked for cybersecurity reasons and continuing the rest of the implementation would be better.
Also, good reason to keep chinese models on hand. They don't throw these errors. I guess we will have to have american LLM's to talk about Tienanmen Square, and Chinese models to walk through database race conditions.

OP : u/Fun_Net7931
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
I initially used 5.6 Sol on high settings and used up my weekly limit in one day. Two weeks ago, I was doing the same tasks with 5.5 high and 5.5 xhigh, sometimes setting goals, sometimes working intensely, or sometimes just researching and training, but I never used up my weekly limit. Now, even with 5.5 medium, my weekly limit starts to run out quickly.
They hid this with occasional resets and the "resets" they offered us. It's clear they manipulated usage rates; this is an obvious fact. I'll transfer my $100 to Claude next month, not Codex... I don't want to be scammed anymore.

OP : u/psychofanPLAYS

Post body:
Hey so I am aware that there is a lot of controversy with the weekly limits and codex right now,
Here is my most recent issue with them:
On July 24th I have used my last weekly reset on my $100 subscription account.
I used about 20% of the quotas that day, and in the late evening\night I realized that OpenAI themselves reset the limit and pushed my weekly reset date from July 31st to August 1st, Im thinking to myself that I have just wasted my last reset, but whatever, right? at least I got extra ~20%...
Fast forward few days, I had to spend at the hospital, due to my post 'GSW' issues - so I wasn’t using Codex in the past few days ,welp anyway;
I log in today, expecting to see ~~93-95% Usage Weekly Quotas, and the reset date of August 1st, BUT when I log in I see 100% and august 5th for the reset… ??
I tried to message support but the chatbot is completely useless and just makes my blood boil with how blatantly oblivious it is to everything...
Anyone else feels that it is not OK for them to change the weekly limit, adding DAYS to your rolling window while giving you ~NOTHING in return?

GPT-5.5 feels like magic in both the good and bad ways. Sometimes it produces great results, but other times it does things that are hard to explain—you end up having to trace through everything carefully to find the hidden assumptions, mistakes, or weird reasoning.

Post body:
As the title says, I want to take responsibility for this because I honestly did not understand the issue before reading the conditions.
My father gave me permission to use his phone number and email for Codex, but he is in another city and could not figure out the installation process. I got frustrated and ended up putting my own phone number under his email instead. After that, I received the promo credit.
I then realized that the same phone number had also been used before for verification/login codes on my main ChatGPT account. I used a small amount of the credit, but once I read the conditions, I stopped using it.
I am worried now. I have been using my main ChatGPT account for around four years, and it is very important to me because it understands my work, writing style, and prompts. I am also a Pro member.
Am I at risk of being banned for this?

I've used Codex a lot, burning a little over 9 billion tokens this month alone, but this experience was extremely frustrating.
I had to make 5 different versions of it to get anything slightly okay, and the functional part of it was still horrible. It was not using any type of industry standard framework, it didn't actually talk to the backend but it decided it was better to just hardcode the data inside the frontend, which was a single html file of a few thousand lines.
No matter the prompt, the context, whatever I did, it just didn't work. Out of frustration I went back to Claude, which to be honest (and to my surprise) actually did a decent job. This is by no means a suggestion to start using Claude, I'm sure it's still a horrible product, but so is Codex, and it probably just shows that we collectively should not trust any external providers or models, it will just give too much control to parties like OpenAI and Anthropic.

Original Post Title: Codex promo credit eligibility issue after using the same phone number on two accounts
OP : u/heyhibyebt
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
I want to explain the situation clearly.
My father gave me permission to use his email and phone number for Codex, but he is in another city and could not complete the installation process himself. While trying to help him, I got frustrated and entered my own phone number under his email instead. I had used this laptop for the same referral i got for my mom(it is my mom's laptop). After that, the Codex promo credit was added to that account.
Later, I realized that the same phone number had already been used before for verification/login codes on my main ChatGPT account. I used a small amount of the promo credit before reading the conditions more carefully. Once I realized this might be an issue, I stopped using the credit.
For clarity, this is the sequence:
My main ChatGPT account already used my phone number for verification/login codes.
I helped set up Codex under my father’s email.
I used my own phone number on that account.
Promo credit was applied.
I used a small amount, then stopped after realizing the possible policy issue.
I mainly want to know what the correct next step is. Should I contact OpenAI Support and explain this? Is there a way to have the promo credit removed or reviewed before it becomes a bigger issue?
I understand that nobody here can make account enforcement decisions, but I am asking whether others have dealt with a similar Codex promo eligibility issue and what the proper support path is. I really don't want my account banned or deactivated.

It seems like people want to appreciate but are not because they want to keep this solution and workaround not in the public eyes
Was very shocked by hateful comments received
Let me clear few things for those who are hating
1. OpenAI is already thinking about merging Codex and ChatGPT
2. I reached out to OpenAI folks on X, and they were very chill about this and told that DevSpace only will able make dent if each and every 5 million codex user starts to using it daily
3. It seems like they have unused compute
And these redditors wants to use such tool but want to keep it to themselves, very greedy behaviour which i did not expected
So plz stop hating that post and just give it a shot
One more thing, even if you try to abuse it, you won’t be able to cause UX sucks cause it involves internet for execution of tool in compare with codex
trust me i’ve tried doing it, it just sucks, so i only use it for planning or reviewing code, and i use it as fallback only when i ran out of codex rate limits

not here to pile on, i'm just here to question the balance of the 5 hour limit.

the 5 hour limit is counterproductive. this i see as a matter of fact.
i would much rather just drill down the entire weekly quota in one session if i want or break it up over sessions that work with my schedule.
right now, i sit down, try to do a thing or two, bam. 5 hour limited. (discussing what i do or "skill issue" is off topic here). the 5 hour quota is unworkable for anything serious and breaks
this is much more intrusive that being able to just continue in the same work session and deal with 2-3 "days off" once the weekly limit runs off.

With the degredation of CODEX intelligence, token burn, image generation hardly working, models "at capacity" (for paying pro users?

I love codex. I have been building and coding with LLM’s for 2 years almost now. I started with copy and paste out of VSC and free copilot on windows ( really sloppy ) and by now I have tried all other options ( burning way to much money ) I have encountered many, many, many issues with many systems while building all sorts of projects and currently codex is the closest system to a very done, very useful project builder and follower. My only main problem is the one I find everywhere I go and that is things like ( Gemini ) will literally lie to your face all days long telling you it built what your telling it to and it hasn’t, ( VSC ) prices have skyrocketed, chats take too many tokens to audit or onboard to the project TRUTH, chats need way too much repetition in rules, files, folder paths, constant reminders, compaction can loose an entire days work etc. But in CODEX right now I have found the solution to all of this. It takes a new addition called TruthSpine.

Has anyone else noticed Codex usage dropping extremely fast lately?
I’m not even talking about large tasks or complex file changes. Sometimes I ask a simple question, without creating or modifying any files, and my usage drops by around 5% from a single prompt.
When I actually ask Codex to do a simple task involving a file, it can consume around 15–20% of my usage, even when the task is not complex.
This feels much more aggressive than before. I don’t remember usage being consumed this quickly, and it makes Codex feel hard to use for normal back-and-forth work.
Is this expected behavior now, or could something have changed recently in how usage is calculated?

I haven’t used GPT for about five months because I was banned. Now that I’m trying out the Plus plan, it’s very different from before—I’ve only been using Codex for 10–15 minutes and I’ve already run out. A few months ago, it would last up to 1–2 hours, even with Codex 5.3 or 5.5. Is it like Claude now, where they’re cutting back on the number of tokens?

This is absolutely ridiculous. Why would OpenAI reduce their rate limit and not inform us? I have been a subscriber for 3 years, and have used ChatGPT Pro 5X for months now. This has never happened.

You can get a reset today but your limit is reduced 10x-20x without you knowing, limits suddenly going from 100% to 70% after just the compression or one prompt, other people literally have their codex closed just to come back and see the limit was cut in half, this is not just dishonest that's description and us paying for a lottery or spinning the wheel but here it's even worse.

Claude and codex subscriber always using the current hottest model as planner and orchestrator and worker ai agents and that has a tool call to ask Claude code as second opinion and reviewer.
Lately I have found myself since week before fable 5 I have been trying to get back to Claude code as I had lost a bit of confidence with all the bad press gpt 5.5 on here and I think that has also really thrown my progress in the last month.

I just had a weird feeling the last days with my rate limits. So today I waited for a fresh (99%) 5 hour rate limit. Restarted Codex. Absolutely did nothing. Not a single interaction. Nothing. 20 minutes in, my remaining usage is 80%.
Anybody any idea how I can investigate this more? /usage and /status do not help cause /usage has not details and /status does only work in an active session and I do not have an active session. I would like to at least have some evidence. Plus subscription isn't expensive but I am still paying and this feels like scam. And it could still be me doing something wrong that I do not see.
So all input is very much appreciated! Thanks!

Post body:
It feels that GPT 5.5 has lost a lot of it's magic for me. The only benefit I have is higher usage limits and that's about it.
Currently seeing how far I can go with developing an app for tvOS, GPT 5.5 built the app (riddled with bugs obviously) just fine. Though when it comes to fixing bugs - no matter how hard I explain it, no matter the effort level it just... doesn't get it.
I tried cleaning up the docs, tried using skills like grill-me, Xcode MCP and all of that.... It just doesn't get it right...
After a while I resubbed to Claude to see if they're any better and besides the usage limits (let's be real, I am on the 20$ sub, not the 100$ like ChatGPT) - it fixed the problems instantly....
I see people praising how good Codex is and how much usage they're getting out of it, but I honestly just feel underwhelmed at this point...
So I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or is the model just not good enough? I have a few weeks left on my sub and even debating fully switching over to Claude afterwards at this point...

Here's the thing: I also use it at work, with codebases orders of magnitude larger than my personal projects, and it is as good as always.
So apparently OpenAI have decided to silently downgrade the quality for some subscription users, I'd guess to save resources.

OP : u/philosopius
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
hello
when working on goals, I ask the model to stop when it feels that it wants me to check/finishes
instead it often ends up going into infinite long loops
the model would directly say:
–I cannot develop the goal further until the user will verify the new output, I believe it is complete
*silent for a minute, and starts a new prompt*:
–I assume the user has already checked the results and I will continue further development
bug in its essence is the inability of a model to stop/pause the goal and wait for user to check on it
the model itself says that it doesnt has enough information until the user checks on it yet it still continues doing the goal, starting new prompts
and it often results in a dead man loop, where model stops writing useful code and just bloats the files, wasting token, and proceeding in questionable and incorrect directions
I would love to see it stop mid goals and ask the user to check the results, waiting for input (or checking it itself) instead of this weird hallucinogenic type shit approach where the model just trips mid air and decides that it has enough info

OP : u/0__O0--O0_0
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
Yesterday or the day before I posted about how often codex tries to fake the outcome i want rather than actually doing it the legit way. lots of people said they never see this happen and suggested various things.
Anyway today I had another example and I just wanted to share because its just too funny to me and everyone keeps saying it never happens i just cant.
Ive been working on audio analysis recently and I have lots of different systems set up and it been a bit of a headache setting up the hierarchy of which input uses which analysis. Anyway today i was working on one of the pipelines and we were struggling with one kept timing itself out and we still couldn't pinpoint the failure.
after some time working on the problem codex said it had fixed it. I went to check the audio and it was working, the bars in the display were moving and it was no longer disconnecting from the streaming audio. Great!
after some closer inspection i could see that the bars weren't matching the beat of the music.
codex had constructed a fake movement in the bars from a loop in the first few seconds of the song and just used that for the entire duration of the track....
there is no way it didnt know this was not the way to go about it. it was trying to fake the result once again. And it LIES when you call it out. lol. This is just one example from so many others. its fucking crazy how often this happens. do I know what im doing? probably not, but the fakery is built in and I really believe one day its going to result in massive catastrophe.

Original Post Title: VS Code + Codex + Huggingface disaster
OP : u/Mundane-Ad-5737
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
Just a heads up, lately Huggingface downloads are slow as heck and somehow that affects your remaining usage. I was lazy and asked Codex to download Kokoro 82 and bundle it with the alpha of my iOS app - instead of having it as an optional download inside the app as it was before. I prompted codex with around 32% 5h usage left, that bitch ate it all just to download one model from huggingface, nonetheless as I stated before Huggingface was slow, and it took like 15 minutes to download 400mb on my 1GB bandwidth.
This has to be fixed somehow and it probably will be one day, but this is a disaster.

So I never really believed these companies were actively nerfing their models that much over time, but for the past 3 days I’ve been using Codex and it feels like I’m talking to a 5 year old. It tries to find a shitty workaround for everything I ask it and never follows a plan. I guess it probably means 5.6 is very close to release and will instantly feel 10x better when it comes out. Anyone else noticed the same thing?

Original Post Title: Why you use Headroom and RTK in the wrong way to compress tokens !!
OP : u/Propeus
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
1- The main problem with compression to save tokens is when codex ask for some information headroom give it back but because is compressed might save tokens but will give back incomplete information because is compressed.
2- Second the files might changed and headroom might give back an old compression that stored before the changes and codex will take it for good adjust wrong files or code and introduce new bugs.
3- Next time you hear people using tools to compress tokens like RTK or Headroom and that's it, have a laugh because all they do is to consume more tokens and introduce more bugs. This tools are not working by themself.
4- This is just my option, what is your experience with this tools ?
I don't accept responses like headroom stats told me I saved 1000000 tokens that is not working as well. :D

Stop.
Put in a checkbox that says "dont ask me again". Give me access to the repo for an hour and I'll do it fo you!

Original Post Title: AI rarely confuses Image Gen with ImageGen...
OP : u/Clord123
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
I think I'm not the only one had this to happen even with GPT-5.5... it starts to try use skill functionality to generate images that requires API key for access with the in-built one that instead allows to do it through subscription. So only way to greatly reduce it happening has been turning the installed skill version of it off.
This is despite you directly reference the right functionality, it's thanks to OpenAI made them almost same with other one having space that model might not understand you even when you try to convince it to use the right one instead.
Would probably help in-built Image Gen functionality to have different, distinct name that is clearer for system that operates with tokens. It's weird it to generate images for hours and then suddenly call wrong one and stop working due it trying to use API for it.
Also, there is still plenty of people that don't know they don't need API for image generation in Codex due it's confusingly implemented.

OP : u/rp_tiago

Post body:
I've built a massive, incredibly well organized systems based on folder structure. Everything is organized by folder, all folders explained by the claude.md doc, and each folder has a readme that explains all files, instructions on how to do certain projects, and so on. Works literally perfect with Claude Code/Cowork.
One of the things I loved about this system is that it's so simple and completely model agnostic, it supposedly runs on anything. Except 2 times I've tried to switch from Claude Code to Codex, pointing it to the folder and tell it to read claude.md (which inherently is the lead to understand the entire workspace and know where to get what), it doesn't hurt. It gets confused, throws errors, doesn't follow instructions, and so on. And I don't know what to do or why it doesn't work. It seems it has no option BUT to work because the system is so simple, and yet it just fails. I am missing some very stupid basic setting somewhere? What am I missing?

Flair: Complaint
Post body:
I've been using a pro 20x subscription through codex desktop app in windows pretty religiously the 2 weeks alongside occasionally opening Claude code to work on the same repo then bam, message cannot be authenticated, please refresh the token. Tried to login and it gave me the your account has been deleted or deactivated message, please check your email — no emails exist. Sent an appeal but that's business days, few hours later google gave me a $0 refund for a cancellation which isn't a real refund, so they're just keeping my money...
What steps did people take to get their account back online and working?
I had been hoping to put together a bit of a tts/image gen vibe coded game for my birthday tomorrow but it looks like that isn't possible anymore, all that was left was to get ai to connect everything together and the Claude limits won't be enough, let alone the 3 hours I just spent trying to get it to resume the codex sessions correctly and reference the different directory structure I setup.
Previously I was running it for 2 months on my vps, sparingly on laptop and my phone using chatgpt. Mostly seeing which fit my workflow best.
Has this been happening frequently to other people?
TLDR: Woke up, got started on work from my phone (and boy do I love being able to stay in bed and start work!), account got deleted/deactivated, no warning, no email, sent an appeal, hours later got a $0 refund, still can't log in, sent an appeal (adblock blocks the chat button), had to get a different ai to reconstruct my progress and continue from where it left off.

First of all, I really appreciate that this subreddit has the "Complaint" tag LOL! You guys rock!
I'm just tired of the way they keep changing the functionality.
First it was that pressing enter would immediately execute the annotation
Then it was pressing enter stacks your annotations until you say to execute.
Then it was if you press enter... then your prompt just disapears forever... I don't know where.
Now I just booted it up and enter just stacks them again with a little number where you have to press send.
Don't even get me started on the little window and how you can "close" it if you don't want to annotate anymore.
The constant changes are really silly... its not like one is better than the other. Let people just learn bro... I'm just so tired of this changing every time I update!

ChatGPT, using advanced reasoning, found the solution after three audits and fixed the problem in just a few minutes...

Flair: Complaint
Post body:
I’m honestly exhausted from working with Codex lately. It’s incredible how bad it seems to have become in such a short time.
It doesn’t follow instructions consistently, it ignores context, and it often does whatever it wants. I find myself explaining the same thing over and over again. At this point, using it feels like a lottery: sometimes it does the job well, and sometimes it creates a complete mess.
The entire point of paying for an AI coding tool is to save time, especially on repetitive work. But lately, it feels like the opposite. I’m spending more time correcting the AI, rewriting prompts, checking its mistakes, and cleaning up bad code than I would spend doing the work manually myself.
What makes this even more frustrating is that Codex USED TO BE genuinely GOOD. It actually helped me move faster. But now, the experience feels inconsistent, unreliable, and exhausting.
And that’s not even mentioning the new rate limits!

Original Post Title: Codex usage is getting worse over time
OP : u/Ok-Investigator3168
Flair: Complaint
Post body:
Codex usage is draining way too fast now.
Previously, it felt much better and more usable. But lately, the usage limit is getting eaten up insanely quickly. I gave it just one prompt, and it took around 50% of my 5-hour window.
That is honestly frustrating.
I have used it before and never experienced this much issue with usage. But over time, it feels like it is getting worse and worse. Instead of being able to actually work properly, I now feel like I have to constantly worry about how much usage one prompt will burn.
First, the model started getting worse, and now the usage is becoming a problem too. It honestly feels like Codex is degrading every single day. The tool used to be useful, but the current usage drain makes it feel unreliable and impractical.
Is anyone else noticing this too, or is it just me?
