I think Codex is down, but it's not reported or showing as down.
asafyish commentedon Nov 22, 2025
can confirm. does half the job then stuck. worked till a few minutes ago (used it all day long without an issue)
faicalghoul commentedon Nov 22, 2025
same for me, codex seems down, sometimes switching to gpt-5.1-codex instead of max works but it's not consistent.
timothymarois commentedon Nov 22, 2025

I actually hadn't updated yet, was on a older model and was having this same issue. Just updated to try to fix it and it's still the same thing.

mine was working fine, all up until last night when it just started loading infinitely. been stuck on loading since last night, not even thinking, cant see my chats, nothing. Guess i either gotta go back to the basics and write it myself like a peasant, or switch to claude.

Same problem with the VSCode client, but it seems related to a very large chat / history that gets to 100% chat context window.
