    for some reason, after doing the first pr of a task, and do follow up changes, this issue starts to happen. and instead of doing a PR, creates a branch with no new commits

    I also started getting the "Failed to create PR" error today across two different Codex accounts. I've been using GitHub for 6 months, and this is the first time I've seen this issue.

    I started receiving this error frequently in the past week or so.
    When I try to create a new task, I receive this error:

    @javiergn

    Same here too. For now I have a workaround using the Copy Git Apply button in Codex and then running "git apply text_from_git_apply.patch" locally before pushing to github.

    same issue

    @shaghab

    The fix was simple in my case.

    I went to: https://github.com/[username]/[reponame]/branches

    Then I reviewed the list of branches and deleted many stale branches that showed:

    Behind: 0
    Ahead: 0

    These branches were already fully merged or had no unique changes compared to the default branch. After cleaning them up, PR creation started working again.

    @HK-G36

    It happens again right now
