As you can see, the codex cli in the remote machine is 5.5+high.
But when I switch to the app and use remote connection, the displayed model is custom and I can not choose 5.5 from the menu.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Remote machine's codex cli is 0.124 and choose gpt5.5. Then go to app and open a remote project.

    The problem still exists. I can only use the cli to use 5.5 now.

    I’m seeing the same issue on the remote host, where Codex v0.124.0 is installed.

    Interestingly, I can use GPT-5.5 when connecting to localhost.

    According to the findings from #19300, rebooting my server solved the problem.

    i ran into the same issue just now and resetting the codex app-server is a much better alternative than rebooting the full server.

    I see that there's an option to restart the remote codex app server now.
