What issue are you seeing?

Hello, over the past two weeks, I have frequently encountered the "Re-connecting..." issue.

I have conducted several tests:

1. The issue occurs regardless of the terminal or IDE used with Codex.
2. Both complex and simple prompts can trigger the reconnection problem.
3. I tried logging out and back in, but the issue persists.
4. I still have 90% of my weekly and 5-hour usage limits remaining, yet the problem continues.
5. I tested a similar tool, Claude Code, which works fine without any network-related issues.

Currently, I am almost unable to use Codex normally. Please identify the cause of this issue as soon as possible.

Thanks for reporting. Several other users have reported a similar behavior. I'm going to close this one in favor of this issue which we're using as the clearinghouse for this issue.

Hi, @etraut-openai , today, I tested both complex and simple tasks, and they ran smoothly. Is this bug fixed?

I don't think we've found the root cause yet. It may have been an intermittent infrastructure problem. I'm glad to hear that you're not seeing it any longer. If you see it again, let us know.
