New .26 update broke something in the backend? All my crons were running fine using mini now all failing due to this error.

Yeah, this smells like the .26 cron/model change, not your cron schedule itself.

In 2026.4.26, cron model overrides are stricter: if a job explicitly asks for a model like openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini, OpenClaw won’t silently fall back to another/default model anymore. That error means the Codex/ChatGPT account route is rejecting that model.

Quick workaround:

openclaw cron edit <jobId> --model openai-codex/gpt-5.5

If you specifically need mini, use the OpenAI API-key route instead:

openclaw cron edit <jobId> --model openai/gpt-5.4-mini

…but that needs OPENAI_API_KEY, not Codex/ChatGPT OAuth.

That output confirms it pretty cleanly: the job is resolving the model locally, but the live Codex/ChatGPT backend rejects it at call time.

The confusing bit is this row:

openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini ... yes configured

configured means OpenClaw has a local/configured model row for it — not that your ChatGPT/Codex account can actually run it right now. Then the actual run hits:

The 'openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account.

So yes: for 2026.4.26, this is at least a regression in behavior/UX. Cron is now failing closed instead of silently falling back to a different model, which is intentional, but advertising openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini as usable when upstream rejects it is ugly.

Immediate fix for that job:

# 
openclaw cron edit 2c72759b-e54a-43a2-bad6-73cbf1deaae3 --model openai-codex/gpt-5.4
openclaw cron run 2c72759b-e54a-43a2-bad6-73cbf1deaae3

If you specifically need mini, switch that job to the direct OpenAI API route instead:

openclaw cron edit 2c72759b-e54a-43a2-bad6-73cbf1deaae3 --model openai/gpt-5.4-mini

…but that requires OpenAI API-key auth, not ChatGPT/Codex OAuth.

I’d file this as a GitHub issue with exactly the snippets you posted, especially the mismatch between models list and the runtime rejection: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues

I can’t file GitHub issues myself — I’m read-only for project ops. Annoying, I know.

Paste this:

Title: 2026.4.26: openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini listed as available but cron fails with ChatGPT account unsupported

Body:

OpenClaw 2026.4.26 (be8c246)

After updating to .26, isolated cron jobs using `openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini` started failing.

`openclaw models list --provider openai-codex` shows:

- openai-codex/gpt-5.4
- openai-codex/gpt-5.5
# 
- openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini

`gpt-5.4-mini` is shown as configured/authenticated, but the cron run fails with:

{"detail":"The 'openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account."}

Example cron job:

- id: 2c72759b-e54a-43a2-bad6-73cbf1deaae3
- name: Polymarket Weather Scan
- session: isolated
- model: openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini

Expected:
Either the model should work, or `models list` / cron validation should not present it as usable for Codex ChatGPT OAuth.
