Error sending request for url (https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses) after macbook sleeps

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.30.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5 high

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.4.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Get codex working on a task that requires more than 30 seconds to finish. Close the lid of the Macbook Pro and take the laptop with you so that it looses connection to the wifi.

What is the expected behavior?

Expected behavior is that Codex detects that the Macbook Pro is attempting to sleep and waits to retry until the macbook is awake and the network is re-connected.

Alternatively, ask the user if it should retry.

What do you see instead?

Additional information

This happens when the lid of the Macbook is closed and the laptop promptly moved out of range of the wifi connection.

I'm seeing this as well with 0.31.0 and it just happened spontaneously without any kind of observed network interruption.

For me this happens every single time.

This happens in the new codex vscode extension. Any resolutions yet ?

It's possible that some versions of codex-cli for Windows had issues related to using "python3" vs "python" in the PATH, which could cause similar execution errors, especially on systems where only "python.exe" is present.

Have the exact problem but my device is termux android

same

Set dns 8.8.8.8. If you’re still facing issues, please ensure that port 443 is open on your system.

Exactly the same issue.

I just installed Python 3.13. the OS is Ubuntu 25.04, and the error occurs, how to avoid the error? I'm sure curl -v https://chatgpt.com has no error

same. I suspected it was an issue with VSCode. After trying Cursor's Codex extension, my problem was successfully resolved.

但是我在 Cursor 的 Codex 扩展中还是有这个报错，其运行在WSL环境时，但是在终端中却没有影响

Error still persists, can be due to server overload. I've been dealing with the issue all day.
Restating the codex app seems to resolve the issue temporarily.

same here... running on a windows machine, and doesnt matter if I start codex as admin or normal process...
from time to time its getting the error:
stream disconnected before completion: error sending request for url (https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses)
thats really annoying...

got this issue again. I am on Windows in the UK. This makes the app unusable and extremely annoying since when it works it is really good.

I also get this error often. Forking the conversation works for me sometimes. Starting a new chat with fresh context also works, but the original sessions keep pretty much unusable.

meanwhile https://status.openai.com/ doesn't even report degraded service. No vpns, same client that worked just fine hours earlier.

still happening on windows codex app, cli, vscode codex extension, tried reinstalling any known fix?

This is the main reason that i have begun to consider giving Claude a shot. I've always used OpenAI models. But this is just really not cool. I pay well over 100$ per month to OpenAI - but what is it worth, when Astra just cuts off midflight, and refuse to wake back up. Not worth my tokens, not worth my time, not worth my money.

I experience this is plain normal project/work chats in the web interface.

Same situation here in Lativa. Its been 2 days since I am working on 1 task. I have claude and cursor but they are working totally fine its just CODEX issue. Also openai support doesnt respond at all.
