What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.602.40742

What subscription do you have?

pro

What platform is your computer?

win10 x64

What issue are you seeing?

Error running remote compact task: stream disconnected before completion: error sending request for url
(https://xxxxx/v1/responses/compact)。

It keeps failing to compress over and over, unless I switch to a smaller model like gpt-4mini.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

This happens during a long task. It tries to auto-compress the context multiple times but keeps failing. It's happening on both desktop and CLI

What is the expected behavior?

No response

    Thanks for reporting this problem. Until recently, Codex used a separate endpoint and server-side logic for compaction. We recently switched to a more robust approach where the compaction logic is moved locally using the same endpoint as normal turns. This eliminates "remote compaction" errors and increases the stability and reliability of compaction operations. If you see further problems with compaction, please use /feedback and open a new bug report.
