What issue are you seeing?
After the June 28 update, the context-window usage indicator disappeared from the Codex Desktop composer on macOS.
Previously, I could see a small circular context/window usage indicator in the composer footer near the input box. I also previously saw related Settings entries such as “Composer footer” and “Window usage”. In the current app version, the indicator is no longer visible, and those Settings entries are no longer discoverable.
This does not look like I manually disabled it. Local config still contains:
desktop.show-context-window-usage = true
Local token usage events still appear to exist, so this looks like the composer UI / Settings control is hidden or not rendering, rather than token usage tracking being unavailable.
This affects long-running threads because there is no passive way to monitor context pressure before compaction or quality degradation.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Feedback ID: 019f18e2-b833-7593-ae81-ac95b048ada2
What is the expected behavior?
The context-window usage indicator should remain visible in the composer when show-context-window-usage is enabled.
If the indicator or setting was intentionally moved or removed, the app should provide a visible replacement, migration path, or release-note explanation.
Additional information
Related to #30693, but opening a separate report because this reproduces on macOS 26.623.70822 and includes an additional symptom: the Settings entry/toggle for context-window usage is also no longer visible, while local config still has show-context-window-usage=true.
