Returns 401s for every account

[T-Higgins]

This seems to have been a progressive issue. I noticed it for a few accounts late last week, and now every account's usage shows as 401.

1. codex logout
2. codex login
3. codex-auth list check the account usage.

If it works well, it might be the OpenAI backend issues.

I don't think you understand me. list doesn't work

[Loongphy]

Based on Codex's token refresh behavior, this may happen if the account has not been used for a long time after login, so Codex did not automatically refresh the token and the stored access token became invalid, resulting in 401 responses from the usage endpoint.

You can try the v0.3 alpha build to confirm:

npx @loongphy/codex-auth@0.3.0-alpha.4 list

All accounts were in regular use. This is not the issue. And all of them changed to displaying 401s at the same time. That makes is close to impossible to be because of your explanation. My guess is something has happened on the OpenAI side that you haven't accounted for yet.

Could you share the output of this command? I want to check what 401 errors are happening in this case.

npx @loongphy/codex-auth@next list

[T-Higgins]

I ran that and it asked me to install an additional package. I've done that now. I had also purged the list and readded all of the accounts again. Now there are just two errors. One account is showing TimedOut. The other is showing 401 token expired.
