Same - drives me insane - cant use it .. back to Claude until they work this out - cant keep paying for 1/2 baked code

Because Codex uses any regular OpenAI API key, rate limits that apply to keys in your org will also apply to Codex as it makes API requests. I'm assuming here, but it's very likely that your organization is subject to Tier 1 usage rate limits.

Here are a few potential options:

Immediate solution: increase the limits for your org (by buying more credits, reaching out to OpenAI support, etc.... but IMO Codex should work with Tier 1 limits out of the box)
Throttle Codex's requests to respect Tier 1 rate limits (maybe a worthwhile temporary fix for UX, but slows it down for everyone)
OpenAI handles requests originating from Codex differently (a special key with different rate limits, for example)

Same issue here. Have seen multiple closed issues stating that the issue has been resolved, but issue is persisting.

Seriously? My first experience of Codex was a Joke. First prompt, crash!

What did you change? It works amazingly!

@tibo-openai
STILL NOT FIXED!!!
Lots of bugs open for this one issue?!?

Should be fixed in latest release, please install 0.1.2504221401 and re-open if this is still an issue you encounter.

Excellent, great news. Thank you, @tibo-openai.

I confirmed, it's working now.
