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.
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.
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.

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 commentedon May 8, 2026
It happens again right now
