    Same here. A potential workaround is to switch your model to 5.5, continue the conversation and then swicth back after it replies.

    Same here, the model suggested working with DeepSeek v4, Gemma or Qwen, was doing a few rounds to test the responses, checked the ChatGPT app to see how it was doing and found out it's been blocked.

    Compacting on 5.5 and then moving back to Sol did work, though.

    I had this experience too. Whenever a request is blocked, continuing the conversation with 5.5 fixes it.

    my suspicion is the risk classifier has its own rate limit, and when it is hit it will block any subsequent requests automatically

    Surfacing the same issue during daily work, 20%+ sessions could be blocked once, continue will work (not sure if it will affect the quality).

    I guess this is a codex bug related to filesystem IO.
