ChatGPT Desktop Work repeatedly disconnects during long-running local tasks #46928
This has happened repeatedly since I started using the desktop app and is not limited to the current release.
Environment
iMac 24-inch (2024)
Apple M4
24 GB RAM
macOS Golden Gate 27.0
ChatGPT Desktop / Codex & OWL version 26.915.31945
Released Sep 17, 2026
Feedback ID
01a0c194-21fa-7a13-af79-5a3d3368b89e
Failure timestamp
Sep 20, 2026, approximately 10:03 PM–10:20 PM Eastern Time
Impact
This affects long-running local Work tasks. Because the task is running locally in the desktop app, once the stream fails I cannot continue or recover that task from the web client.
Expected behavior
Work should maintain the local Codex stream for the duration of the task or recover cleanly after a transient disconnect.
Actual behavior
The client enters repeated reconnect attempts and eventually fails with stream disconnected before completion.
Additional context
In-app feedback was submitted with diagnostic logs enabled.
Hello
I reviewed #46148 as suggested by the duplicate detector. The symptoms are
very similar, but I’m keeping this issue open for now because my report
includes a reproducible failure specifically affecting long-running ChatGPT
Work local tasks, along with an in-app diagnostic Feedback ID.
The issue is still occurring as of September 23, 2026.
Latest failure:
Reconnecting 5/5
stream disconnected before completion: error sending request for url (

Feedback ID with diagnostics:

Related issue: #46148
The major impact in my case is that once the local Work stream fails, the
long-running task is lost and cannot be resumed from the web client.
If these are confirmed to have the same root cause, I’m happy for this
issue to be consolidated. Until then, I’d appreciate confirmation from the
Codex/App team.
