If you're able to repro this, please use the /feedback command to upload your logs, then post the thread ID here. Without the additional logs, there's not much we can do to diagnose this particular problem.

Is it possible that you had an another older copy of codex (either the CLI or IDE extension) running for a while in the background? We introduced a bug fix last week to address this issue, but if you had an older copy of codex still running, that would explain the problem you saw here.

Suggestion

1. Send the screen shot to Claude and describe the problem, and ask what to do.
2. Open a complete new terminal and type in the commends that claude suggested.

Reopening. @AndreasPK, are you using the Codex CLI, extension or app (or a combination of the above)?

[AndreasPK]

I was using the vs code extension when it happened. I assume it was related to logging into it both on my notebook and desktop.

After the vscode extension stopped working I tried the console app which is from what I posted the log.

Logging out and in did eventually work though.

To make the timeline less confusing:

• I used the vscode extension on the weekend on the notebook.
• Used the vscode extension today for some time on my desktop. Got the above error at some time while working.
• Prompted by this I launched the app on my desktop which failed in the same manner. I posted the /feedback for this.
• I then successfully logged out and back in in vscode. Which refreshed the token I assume and things worked again after in the vscode extension.
