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

26.905.11957

What subscription do you have?

Enterprise

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.6.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

The app is stuck in an infinite "Reconnecting… waiting for network" loop.
The internet connection is working properly on the machine (browser and other network apps work without issue). The problem persists across different networks, including home Wi-Fi and a mobile hotspot.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: 01a06e3d-81e5-7c90-8407-769a56465b76

What is the expected behavior?

The app should establish a stable connection and allow running prompts normally without looping on network reconnection.

    I encountered the same issue today, and after testing, it seems to be a bug unrelated to accounts or client versions.
    Because even after upgrading from the old version to the latest one, I still encounter this issue.
    I think this is a major issue—if he can't use Codex, he won't be able to handle his work, and it would be no different from a chatbot.
    I also noticed another issue: different panel areas display different version numbers.

    If you have connected Ollama to your Codex, this error may occur if Ollama is not running.
    Pay attention: if you connect Ollama or third-party tools that add routes or APIs, it causes this type of error.
    Ollama connection e.g. :

    Simply remove the line from the config.toml file.
    1 - go to settings
    2 - go to configuration

    3 - select user config and open config.toml button
    4 - Remove or disable line pointing to Ollama local: openai_base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/codex/v1"
