if 5.6 really comes out that would be crazy. poor anthropic
the problem with pro subscription is the small context size
huh?
huh?
they will PR a Super Mythos, unable to release due to how dangerous it is,
oh you mean for claude? its lower on pro than max or what?
for GPT 5.5
subscription gives you 400K - 128K context size, 1M is only for API
272K is so easy to hit doing some stuff like reviewing a commit range
oh yea, but i'm happy with the autocompact in codex, context size isnt an issue
gpt pro in chatgpt has 1M pretty sure
I guess I can use plus for 3 days and then wait cause idk how to connect second account to same thread
they are really squeezing tokens huh. running out of tokens way faster this week as compared to last week... ๐
I tried a few times letting the auto-compact work it out. the review with compacting ended up compacting like 4-5 times and barely found any problems. rerunning with multiple agents instead gave like 5x more results. It's really not that great
how do you guys deplete a 20x acc, what do you do? do you run it overnight and use /goal constantly?
I can't even dip below 50% anymore, even using Fast lol
I could run /goal all day and it would eat about 10% of my weekly. now it eats 30% and the day is not even over
/sadface
previously I used 5.4 xhigh and was running it 24/7 there was no goal feature I just made him emit promtps for himself and I made script that just checks when he finishes and then send the pormpt to him from the specifc file
pretty easy. 5.5 xhigh, lots of feedback loops like codex hooks, git pre-commit/push hooks, codex review loop, etc
I deplete two of them in 5 days. And yes they run 24/7 fixing issues in issue queues.
running models for 24/7 is nuts
you mean, not running 24/7 is nuts
It can sure drive you there
I need 1 more month tho
I guess it more drives itself into slopville
No this runs in enterprise environments but it's a whole process and does involve humans in the final stages
I mean in enterprise environment $400 is nothing so just get another one ๐
burning through a 20x in 1,5 days now, basically 5h limits are becoming a problem
I have more
I actually hit my 5hour on my 200pro just now, I've never had this before, ever.
we are being squeezed hard
But at 400 you can run a business week full on with multiple projects
nahhhhhhhh
AI becoming more and more paytowin
even with the squeeze the value is ridiculous
Yea OpenAI, stop providing us the value of 10 engineers for $200 a month
its still good yes, but this is not a good direction, it should become cheaper, not more and more expensive
i mean it sucks if you are starting out now. but if you have a business already or good job, its crazy
skill issue
maybe the people running the model 24/7 are the ones making it more expensive for everyone else lol
That said we have to probably rever about 200 commits of total clown code now that whatever DevOps idea they decided to try on Friday is coming apart
That's what the 5 hours are for and the limitations on using it for data processing
have you built anything this way?
ye but needs 1 more month to finish it
but not heavy tasks as before
ah, well, I still haven't fully automated my pushes and merges, and I don't yet use hooks. Any must-haves?
wdm?
do you have a product out or do you work in a company?
I'm bottlenecked by tracking all the things I'm automating, I may need to automate my automating
in other words, say a thing has 20 steps, gotta make sure all 20 are properly automated
what i built is basically a "local MR" workflow. i run lints, tests, etc the usual stuff on git pre-commit. then rebase, then on pre-push i run a codex review loop until all findings are fixed, each in a separate commit. so this local commit stack + review loop basically acts like an autonomous MR. i really like it. its a token incinerator though. beyond that i use pre/post tool use hooks in code for fast feedback loops, so lints, formatting, etc
Lazy reply.
I use the exact same workflow as last week. yet token use is at least double
In a company, client projects and internal projects. It runs everything. For new projects it usually builds for a few days and then it takes a backend dev and front end Dev both a week to get it to be perfect. And then there's about a day and a half of autonomous pen, UI, API, and performance testing. But no matter how complex, this is consistently working.
I do most of that stuff as well, on Plus account. Burns a bit of tokens, but I have subagents and the loop doesn't deal with trivial things or it may never end.
basically refining the high level things i want to do. the implementation is so fast that i cant keep up with new goal prompts ๐
this is my issue as well
and I think most people have or will have this issue
Need more agents, not more prompts I'd say
and abstract more and more
eventually you'll be so abstracted you will have freed yourself all dev work, unfortunately
but dont you have one goal? cause I had multiple goals on diff layers and ye
yup, we will all be PMs / product owners
I know I also had him update the goals based on what he discovered while executing actions from goals
i dont mean on goal level. i mean on the high level feature / spec / requirements level
i work alone, so i dont have anyone feeding me tickets or similar
well, at least we'll be able to solve issues and gtm quite fast, after all, building is what gives great satisfaction, even if it means just a week or so in the future
i tried to get gpt to do the grill-me questions but only ask me the really high impact ones and make sensible default decisions for less important stuff, but not working as i'd like it to yet
You might need to give him good examples of high impact qustions vs low, and what to do with both like how he needs to ingest your answers or smthing
It works for me but idk how so I cant help sadly
yea will need to do some experimentation
I think one way to approach your isuses, is to define your abstraction level on where you want to be with your agent,
plan the highest level, then have the agent help you with defining what is left undefined on that level.
After that, just have the agent go down in the lower abstraction level and define there
sounds beginner-like what I said above, but sometimes the simplest point of view is the best one
i get bogged down by all the things I have to do, as I work solo like you. Good organization is critical for me
and yes, automate everything instead of leaving it for later. Learned that one in the past few weeks
the good old building the meta system trap ๐
so tempting to go down the automation rabbit role too far
what do you think the danger is?
I've got myself planning various social media strategies, gtm, outbound/outreach, not to mention features left to be done
The point is to free yourself from manual work and energy-drainers, especially the tedious work
yea absolutely agree
for me the trap is spending more time on this than on my actual business
its fun working on these systems and improvements
real life factorio
I only do it to keep moving forward and actually do the things that bring value. I don't do it for fun, seriously
I like how much I cann do, but it's become very difficult to juggle all these areas I'm doing, especially things I've never done in my life
the automation is the actual business (not literally) but for example, I've automated my outbound 90%, this is like my main path atm
there wasn't much fun in it ๐
I hate spamming people, but I've worked for a leadgen company, so I had to take advantage of that
interested to hear your experiences, as you mentioned you're solo building? @bright swift
Idk, on one hand it takes time, on the other hand you learn valuable lessons. There is value in trying.
I rebuilt my rear axle twice. The first time I got RTV silicon in one of my wheel bearings and found out the hard way you can't really clean that stuff out. Rebuilt the second time with all new bearings, still going strong after 14k miles.
Sucks having to keep doing the same repair over and over, but now I have all the tools to do a rear axle rebuild and experience to go with it.
Build the harness. Do it for learning and potentially high rewards!
i have been running a business that is a mix of saas/ecom for 10+ years, everything hand coded before obviously. its pretty stable and basically runnign on autopilot despite being relatively complex with custom on-demand manufactoring etc
so funnily in the last few months i mostly worked on greenfield new idea type stuff. now i'm applying some of the stuff i learned in the time to the existing business.
mostly painful unfun stuff right now to get it to a more "AI first" point with better integrations etc. migrating gitlab -> github, migrating off AWS, big refactorings ๐
how do you promote? You mentioned it's on autopilot, so I presume SEO is working well?
I suppose we shouldn't turn this into this kinda of talk, as it's supposed to be about codex
so let me mention the word 'codex' once more ๐
paid ads mostly, which is also my focus for new ideas right now. building some internal tools and maybe getting them to a place where they could become a saas. also taking over a marketing agency soon together with a business partner, so that aligns well.
im building it all with codex so... ๐
no shortage of money I see, good luck with that
I am unfortunately forced to find all possible means to get traction, from social media to SEO (have some experience in this) to whatever is necessary
hopefully something clicks
funny thing about that is that i just saw chatgpt + american express now has some kind of partnership. maybe i can spend the amex points i get for ads payments on codex credits. infinite codex glitch
and given how little experience I have being my first ever SaaS product, I'm bound to make all kinds of mistakes ๐
anything is possible
I am trying to multi select various elements with annotation mode and it doesnt seem to be working by holding shift.
I swear i did this before (i think haha) and when i read up on it, i see docs saying i should be able to select multi things with annotation mode while holding shift and selecting. but this does not work. it will only allow me to select one item. And I am not meaning selecting by dragging either. I need to select elements in various parts of a page that a drag selection would not work with.
Anyone else with this issue, or have any solves? or is it just me imaging something?
Thank you in advance.
Does anyone know why they removed the slides and spreadsheets plugins from Codex? I keep seeing people with them installed, but they don't show up in my marketplace.
weird. I just checked and they are there for me
anybody manage to get Hermes to work with codex?
It's not just these extensions. I see people using skills and plugins from the marketplace that don't even show up for me to install.
Even if I go to GitHub to look for the "Slides" skill, I get a 404 error.
I figured I wouldn't be able to see a lot of them because they might not be available in the European Union, but it doesn't make sense that I can't see the spreadsheets or slides plugins.
If anyone here is also from the EU, I would appreciate it if they could check if they can see these plugins.
Tbh I hadn't thought of that
I'm going to give it a try, thanks
wow. almost at 50% token use now. thats a 40% increase over last weeks running cost for 1 day with the exact same agent/prompt
I guess my /goal goals are dead now?
just me noticing this extreme decrease in usable tokens for sub?
They are all here
No chance I can use them - stuck on 97% weekly since yesterday morning, that is a 3000 lines of code wp plugin later, inclusive iterations, plus two paralell tasks running basically nonstop. the 3k line thing was all done with 5.5 xhigh, the others on high.
It just wont go down
ca 12 hours straight of codex producing and chewing stuff. I do not run it overnight... but still. Sum tin wong
at this rate I will run out of tokens in just 2 days. ill have to buy a new 200pro account every 2 days now? just a single agent running 5.5medium regular. only last week I could run the thing all week and still code on the side.
wack
was even running it at night last week. no chance I can do that now
Key differences I think:
- I do not run native subagents. It is disabled
- I do not use skills, agents, or the likes
- All over codex app server in custom tool
And, yes, this is a pro account 200 bucks. But I am seriously thinking of downgrading it, because I literally can't spend all tokens as hard I try
The only reason I kept it for now was no other option, but now there is the 100usd plan...
chatgpt is the agent btw..
something seems off
literally the same prompt, same project, same model, same everything. and yet what worked for the whole week, night included with tokens to spare, now can't manage 2 days
Fairly sure that load balancer of theirs is the cause
Its not a first and wont be a last
I use tokens, they get billed to you, that kind of issue.
something funky for sure. this is extreme
i burned through 1,5x pro 20x weekly limits since the manual reset
guess this is the week when i set up a 3rd ๐
2kpro the new meta?
Weird, I've had no issues
seems like some people have what feels like endless tokens, and others have to settle for scraps
I definitely don't have endless tokens, but very deterministic usage
maybe is based on how much love you post on x for oai
thing that makes this so iffy is that its the exact same prompt and all that
Yeah, I try to offer advice on more efficient usage. A lot of it falls on deaf ears tho
I haven't personally seen any evidence of it being broken currently but it has definitely been broken previously within the last couple months
effecient or not. the same process should not eat 5x more one week to the next
If you updated codex (TUI and/or desktop) then the same process can definitely eat 5x more tokens
you mean because of rewriting caches?
why specifically updating codex? did they change anything related?
What is to denote is that robert also does not use most native codex things, but runs custom harness
But the statements "same exact stuff now does consume more tokens" speak towards their infra being at fault, and this is not a first time, it is openly been admitted by Tibo that their cdn infra does mix up token usage
It could be literally anything. Like if you have unified_exec=true enabled, they might've updated how that works, so when the agent wakes up every 5 seconds to check on background terminals it consumes the entire command output + new outputs instead of just new outputs. Totally plausible, and would n^2 the input token usage
There is a github ticket about it where he explicitly said that, and if it happens once, it is almost sure to happen twice
I mean, anything can be a cause. there is a sea of variables at play here
Right, and that's the bummer about updating everything immediately
huh unified_exec is such a burner?
a couple months ago the accounting was briefly so messed up that they gave me a whole extra manual reset after I posted my user id and some evidence of breakage in a bug report on github
weirdness definitely happens
MASSIVE
thats for the background commands right
just look at this channel for proof of "weirdness happens" lolol, and I am not referring to codex
The idea behind unified_exec is amazing, but in practice, the way they implemented it has historically been bad
i will investigate and potentially tokenmaxx less
Unfortunately, if your agents run commands that take longer than 15 minutes, unified_exec=true is the only vanilla option for letting that command run past that limit
yea you aren't wrong
the other day I saw a 69420 joke go over someone's head and briefly wondered what f'n planet I was on
it was highly disappointing
hm ok thats a problem
Yeah I posted a proposed solution on https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/13733#issuecomment-4441800902
Would let you declare certain commands as blocking, so the agent can't reawaken every 5 seconds and burn tokens, but idk they don't seem interested
thx i'll follow that issue. i assume you implemented a solution in your fork?
Yeah, I patched zsh_fork so there is no 15 min limit, and the agent can't pass their own timeout. And basically just don't use unified_exec
I've had some success just telling the agent how often to poll, like I can't say for sure that it works but if I send a followup message it definitely doesn't get processed until after the specified delay
problems seem to arise if I tell it to only poll every several minutes and it happens to hit a backend compaction point while waiting though, where it errors out with a message about my oauth token being revoked, deletes my auth.json and forces me to do the whole 2fa song and dance again
it's highly suboptimal
That was just 1 specific example. A long time ago before they switched to token-based quota, responses_websockets used to completely wreck the quota because they were doing "per-message" quotas, and with HTTP over SSE they considered a single HTTP request 1 message, but with websockets you have this persistent connection, so they considered every event a message lol or something like that. And I'm pretty sure they default enabled it at one point.
They could've also made memories=true default enabled, or made it so skill headers get inserted into each and every tool call mid-turn, or any number of quota eating changes. I think when folks say "Today I burn insane tokens doing the same prompt I did yesterday", first suspect is software update
Hey, Iโm a developer working mostly on AI-powered web apps and automation tools.
Recently Iโve been building internal chat assistants, workflow automation systems, and dashboards that help teams manage and understand their data more easily.
Curious to meet others working on similar projects or experimenting with AI tools
Sometimes I just dont get codex or better said, llm models
I achieved a given goal safely and easily with 53 lines of code crafted by hand.
I asked gpt to write code based on that working example, but with a test suite around it, and trying to optimise the working example in case he can find a better way to do it
10+ files with each 50+ lines of source code (no tests included in these numbers) later, the goal is not achieved, at iteration 5 meanwhile (iteration 6 going now with the command to "fully reset and start anew")
At the same time it can poop out 3000 line of code apps that work in one shot and are really complex in the features.
Its weird. Like, as others said, sometimes the thing just feels dumber than a glass of water that accidentally can print toothbrushes out of thin air
but did you define 'optimize'? you can optimize anything. maybe it was optimizing execution speed which could involve more code. smaller is not always faster
guys how and where to use codex's "/goal"?
running through long sessions that could be easily derailed down a rabbit hole. keeps it on track. complex sprint execution with a lot of gates for example -- its great for this.
yeah Believe me I did explicitly plan with /plan mode and its well stated to not re-invent facebook
I am not opposed to more code, etc, but hell, at least have the feature I did with 50 lines working, no?
lol
specially given it has a working example, where the (admitted) extreme edge case of this project is well documented and implemented
That is what it is porbably tripping it off because it is not "by the books". yet that is also explictily elaborated in the plan lol
Its like it goes circles hunting its own tail when it has too much guidance, kind of
I might just tell it "optimise this", actually, lol
bits are free!
/goal optimize until more better haha
append duh
and introduce a typo, becuase.
oooooh nice, a phisicyan appeared!
aaaand gone ๐คฃ not even enough time to get their username ๐ข
have fun with it
there are tens or hundreds of these coming to this discord per day
but they get insta deleted here (he got a 3 day timeout, but usually these get removed/banned later)
discord in general has extreme amount of scammers/bots and it only seems to be increasing, especially lately
some might also just be hacked accounts, as they are older
can you force a context compaction ?
my context window keeps compacting but its not returing to zero tokens after
not sure why
Whats weird - if you use project_doc_fallback_filenames, then agent says:
Instructions came from your first message in this conversation, not from a file currently present in the repo.
You provided them inline under:
# AGENTS.md instructions for /path/to/project
<INSTRUCTIONS>
...
</INSTRUCTIONS>
I then checked the filesystem and found no AGENTS.md inside this repo. The only AGENTS.md found nearby was outside this project:
../../AGENTS.md
So for this repo, the instructions are active because you supplied them in the chat context, but they are not currently stored as path/to/project/AGENTS.md.
yet a file is located in cwd, just not default name, instead, a project_doc_fallback_filenames overwritten one
I observed it does not follow that as nicely as AGENTS.md, which is why I got curios
/compact
and it will not go to zero, that is what compact is for, to NOT go to zero
mmm
i see
@hard drum
quick question
buying 20$ in credits vs making another codex account ? what happens to the reset cycle if you buy credits ? will it reset , would it be wiser to make another account ?
nothing
you use credits when you have 0% either in 5h usage or weekly
they will start to be used when you reach 0%
nothing will change with your reset date
then id be able to use codex after its hit zero
yes with the credits
and what about my daily limit it can goto zero too and id still be able to use it
yes, same
thats pretty much the only way you can use credits as far as I know
when usage reaches 0% the credits will then be automatically used
until your next reset
mm i see
didnt create it (Krenzo did)
I just host gitlab/development and other stuff and assist devs and make sourcemod plugins or discord bots and similar for it
I read that yesterday - good intro to how to use goals that most people will ignore anyway.
i see
I was just over in #openai-chatter - just as I remembered, it's home for kids and newcomers and conspiracy people, for FUD, crying, misinformation, and a hint at the world of people who use the tech.
This channel gets like that sometimes.
I wish there were channels for verified adults and those who have a handle on this stuff. ๐
Hi everybody ! Do you also have the impression that when talking about limits, new 100$ pro plan is the same as the old plus plan ?
I would like to use gpt 5.5 only on a large repository. Should I really buy the 200$ one ? ๐ฅบ
If it turns profit then why not?
The question can't be answered properly in a forum without a lot of info. The decision is based on your usage.
Try Plus. If you run out of tokens, consider a couple options:
- Monitor your token usage:
- Are your prompts good?
- Are your AGENTS.md and Skills carefully crafted and not contradictory?
- Can you use Standard speed or do you truly need Fast?
- Are you switching models and reasoning ability based on the task?
- Are you watching the CoT and remedying issues that the model encounters?
- Is your code documented so that the assistant doesn't need to read the entire workspace to understand it?
-
If you've done all that and you know you're already using tokens effectively, maybe you do need a higher plan.
-
If you can cost-justify a higher plan as a business expense that is actually related to profit and loss, then yes, maybe a higher plan is the next step. If you are not earning money with the tooling yet, then no, maybe spending more money isn't the right answer yet.
If you haven't come up with some metrics that signal a higher plan is well-justified, you're just throwing money at something you don't understand. That's a different kind of problem that no one in a public forum can help with.
lol reset again?
im back to 100% ahahah
was just about to buy a 3rd because 2 subs emptied
hahaha awesome
maybe they actually fixed sth this time because it really seemed to drain fast
but ill take it ๐
meanwhile google is doing their best to re-invent glasses...again...
Amazing stuff,glad I went turbo and used alot of usage, betting on anothe reset ๐
Hey @torpid trout if https://bitsforfree.com/ really is focused on "bits for free" then maybe the meme on optimization isn't a good fit?
what does it do
the domain was just some squatted thing I bought years ago I had lying around lol
I was just looking again and it seems it needs to be general purpose. If limited to our little friend Homo Reseticus, there wouldn't be much there. What do you think about vibing a categories mechanism?
Google glass was amazing btw
Claude's /copy? its smart, lets you be able copy certain sections, so for example you can easily copy strictly only a command without all the fluff and backticks
oh yea thats nice
Lots of AR/glasses on the market now, extreme quality/price differences, very chaotic.
always so dramatic lol
I am open to anything, lol, the site is for fun.
I did not want to add menus initially as I found it disturbs the design, but again, no issues with it
The repo is linked in the footer, contributions welcome! Its not on github tho it is git(ea) right now, so if you think it is useful I can move it over to git (I would mirror it, I think that works, or just fully move it)
Right now it accepts any type of content really, while it is AI moderated, that is only used to avoid profanity and stuff like that (it then puts it into an admin queue for me to review)
Codex for mobile is not living up to excpectations... so buggy... going back to Omnara, thats one perfect hidden gem. Anyone else got bugs with codex on mobile?
wow codex became much better after reset again!
how do you know?
Hmmm, so if the image is already being processed by AI then it can also categorize. That's good enough. I see moderation.js in the code. I'll clone and see what I can do as time permits (rarely does). Best to ya!
what the hell why is my codex resetted again
yep, it totall can
its just fixing all the broken prs it did over the last days xD
honestly I wanted to add a "vibe code this site" feature to it but its just too dangerous
Like, a small chat boy at the bottom anyone could use to add features ๐คฃ
but I do not trust ai to recognise prompt injections and adequately allow only actual true features lol.
wen reset
it apparently did already, I am back at 100% again
good call, Beda
Hmmm, you just invented something (again).
Dynamic websites that visitors can vibe/configure. The site uses their preferences when they visit. Config is stored in local storage. Needs to be carefully considered...
Call it a "BedaSite" ๐
Yea, I mean, does it surprise no one that we still think in terms of "settings", "configurations", "apps" and so on?
The future has no website, no OS, no app, no settings
It has an interface with an AI, and you tell it what you need, and it makes it for you, pulling from a pool of data
Basically facebook may keep existing, as a json blob somewhere, or whatever. You show it to yourself the way you want, where you want, when you want
The entire OS is a "today I need to communicate with another human, tell them this:..." and the ai decides whatever the best way is, it may or may not create a mail client for that, or god knows, something better
Who cares if the user wants dark or bright mode, maybe someone wants rainbow mode... or whatever else, read diagonally or so.
There needs to be some major break throughs in efficiency before that happens.
nice to wake up an see a reset
I try to share concepts like that with my wife. She kinda doesn't get it. She's a "user/consumer".
Dude, let's get married! ๐คฃ
local inference is the only that can truly achieve that I think, but I guess that is just a question of time until the models become small enough and tech advanced enough
not a tomorrow thing of course.. but porbably a soon-thing
we're quickly moving toward locally hosted models so personal apps will certainly be common, very soon.
actually, nothing has that in part
they basically allow you to create your own phone apps, directly on the phone
not sure how, i think it is some remote call to their models, I doubt a local phone-model can do something like it, but then... phones are incredibly powerful nowadays, so given a strong harness probably it could do some limited stuff already
nothing as in the brand
I have Gemma4 on my Android. And I have an APK generator. I just need to wire up the harness to create AI apps for the phone. Never enough time...
chiefs for the past couple of days am i the only one that burns through quota as if im using opus instead of gpt?
im cooked already 
openai making us all work hard with these resets ๐
Drex, see if https://github.com/CaptainStarbuck/codex-usage will help you to see where your tokens are going. More enhancements are on the way to help us to focus to those kinds of answers.
hope it hurts not ๐คฃ
Iโm curious whether Codex can be used with API keys from other models, like Gemini. Iโve really enjoyed Codex so far, especially the features, skills, and built-in tools, and Iโm wondering if a similar setup or workflow would be possible using the Gemini API.
it can
Many people in public are happy about using other models with codex.
L:ook around for how-to info.
I've been doing some diggin and see there are framworks like liteLLM that can help with that, just wondering if anyone here knows if there is a builtin tool or we do need a workaround like litellm
I don't know but I can tell you that many people outside of this forum have already published that kind of information in articles, blogs, etc. I personally haven't had the time/desire to read on that specific topic yet.
Yeah you need a workaround to translate other provider API calls to /v1/responses. Also set up a model provider in config.toml to point to the workaround
gotcha, will definitely try that out
Hey, please come back and share what you've learned. ๐
been experimenting with claude dispatch taking controll of my mac mini and running my codex projects last 8 hours, just amazing. I check in every now and then, and claude and codex have their own bbq party and getting those steaks medium rare. Were about to cancel my claude sub, but now tht I truly can have opus be "me" ill keep it, and let them cook together
anyone else doing this flow?
Peeps are doing this with the codex tooling for remote control, or the app-server. I saw something published by staff yesterday that their explicit goal is to allow different systems to communicate and execute just like that.
Oh, we're in for a world of hurt. ๐
will look into it, whats up with all the codex resets im seeing? sama forgot about me ๐
Was only one today.
Ref #announcements "OpenAI Guaranteed Capacity" : That's what I was talking about yesterday when I mentioned dedicating servers for specific usage.
About to get stiffed
Anyone else feel like gpt 5.5 now runs up your 5h limit very quickly ?
dont want to know what that costs ๐
sama hates blacklisted me confirmed
No announcements were made by Tibo - it's possible your account hasn't been credited yet. Or yea, maybe SamA doesn't like you.
I freaking love it dude. The worst thing ever is when they redesign a page and rip out real existing functionality. "Make no mistakes" is real now
Except that you're working with Twilio, one of my favorite companies, I don't understand what's happening there. Are you saying it caught and corrected a mistake because of the directive to "Make no misteaks"? ๐
Yeah, the worker claimed to have redesigned the page, but ripped out functionality that existed in the old design. Review agent is like "yeah buddy, put that back in"
not sure if you want to challenge the anti-phisicyan association or truly want to get removed. Be it whichever, f-o.
I understand it now. Well done! ๐
i'm sharing a free be
imagine deleting knowing that is how AI scrape alot of data
๐
what is this phisicyan stuff you guys talk about lol
New topic: It's helpful to go back and look at AGENTS.md files. As the tech improves and my/our understanding of how things work improves, there's a lot of opportunities for tuning these static prompts that are easily forgotten.
I swear, I don't understand what he says half the time...
Has anyone measured the retail price of inference provided in Codex subs? I know Claude 20x is ~ 5k in inference
probably more, at least 10-15k, maybe even 20
That's already an enhancement scheduled for https://github.com/CaptainStarbuck/codex-usage - maybe this week. Will include estimates of costs per session and of available quotas.
There once was a dude selling shared codex pro subs and his name was like "physician" or "PhD" or something, so anybody being sus is a physician ๐
Did you get one today?
Mine's not reset yet
mine was reset
Yeah I did
hmm
Iโm not complaining I was low and actually worrying if Iโll have enough and need to upgrade
I've used 50% in two days so i'd love a reset lmao
Yeah dude usage def got slashed because im burning through usage now
Wasnโt the case 2 weeks ago
is it only he 5 hour window?
Yeah I just noticed the 5hr window is shrinking at a faster rate. The weekly looks to be depleting at the same rate though
this is what mine looks like atm - around 5% 5hour = 1% weekly
Yeah you're right! That seems to be the scaling factor
the graph under that one is broken though so you can't see your per day use anymore
Oh it is too
I guess we got another reset again?
Before I go and create a utility, doe anyone have a process that assembles AGENTS.md files from components. Like - give it a recipe and it produces the AGENTS files for a given system based on OS, Location, Purpose, etc?
I'm still cleaning up these AGENTS files on my way to Skills. ๐
haven't seen this dude in a while
Closest thing I've made by what you're describing is codex -c developer_instructions="$CONCATENATED_INSTRUCTIONS"
Can't wait to share it
isnt that animation sick
are you guys noticing a degradation in performance with compaction since 5.5?
I kid you not, I've been thinking about doing something like that for days. Different character, (not You ๐คฃ ), but just getting my chops with sprites and canvas.
also i have noticed multi agents v2 is hell abugged
recommend flagging this off
failed, stale agents galore
On the contrary, 5.5 has perfect recall for weeks for me. Almost consider it black magic
i have found it practically unusable with computer use
compaction forgets everything important
and it compacts A LOT with computer use
That makes perfect sense. Maybe have it feed important info back into itself as a user message
Lots of peeps reporting model response weirdness from Codex, compaction issues, long response time. We can only talk about it here. Serious devs need to report to github and hopefully try to provide a convincing demo - can't provide repro cases with this stuff. ๐
i'm gonna try a virtual monitor
low res
might help with the compaction
computer use with a 7680*2160 display is...expensive lol
4K*2
8K/2
Compaction gathers all user prompts into an array and posts it at the end of the session. Then it encrypts most/all model responses, not including (maybe) many transient events, and it appends that as a blob. So subsequent processes need to decrypt the blob.
The compaction doesn't actually remove the data from the session file (JSONL) but it may/probably only transmit from the new prompt-array downward.
a lot of the info its losing is within a skill.
maybe i'll prompt it to read the skill after each compaction
i found a way around it and just delegated every single little subtask to a subagent
this works
Oh yeah, I believe it re-reads agents and skill headers and slaps them jus tabove that context. I don't recall at the moment.
can probably do this with hooks
y eah. but i dont want it to do that globally so will have to setup a repo specific hook or seomthing
Iโve actually only seen it on xhigh the rest donโt bother re reading skill
Hopefully it changes
but yeah this never happened before.
They sell these $100 1080p USB monitors for like laptops. Would be a perfect computer use display you can see!
it could just go on and on and on
Gonna look at data to see if skills are inserted into compaction, BRB
they are just normal tool results arent they
and some tool results are dropped for compaction
i may resort to somethign like this
Interesting...
Heck, if you have an Android tablet or iPad laying around I think you can turn one of those into a display just to see if it even makes a difference ๐
Now that you mention it, if you're using computer use then you're automatically getting updates to Codex, so they might've added some "eat my quota and forget everything" feature in yesterdays new version
Skills and other instructions aren't added to the bottom of the sessions data after compaction. I have to believe their processing pulls specific objects from there and assembles them for transit on each turn. I'm gonna have to look to see if that's logged anywhere, maybe by diagnostic option.
Yooo, Computer Use uses the accessibility layer! That's awesome, they're implementing it the smart way
This is sloppy but this is what I'm seeing in session logs:
System
Developer
Agents
Skills
Context
-- Prompt 1
-- Response 1
-- Prompt 2
-- Response 2
Compaction
-- [ Prompt 1, Prompt 2]
-- Encrypted response/event data
From there, what gets sent to the server? It has to be All of the top stuff and then from Compaction downward. That's kinda sloppy. This file is a log of what has happened. I'd like to see individual records of exactly what's on the wire for each turn. That would tell us whether skills are there after compaction or not.
I think the skill header list exists inside the developer message section of the chat template, which survives compaction. It's just like the system prompt. Except developer prompts can stack on top of eachother. System prompts overwrite each other if they change
๐
As I said, that was sloppy from what I'm reading, but that's the gist. I plan to look more closely. If anyone can find diagnostic options for logging, that would help, TY.
Gonna close shop early today, so bailing soon here.
Haha "Play rainbet until I make $2k" ๐
it just reset again
in codex_rs/session/mod.rs, the skill section is rebuilt inside build_initial_context().
But I just found a test in codex_rs/session/tests.rs that will trim the skills list if context is tight enough. That's on 0.125.0 though, idk about the latest version
It should never trim a skills list, only remove the detail back to the headers.
If that's still in 131 that would explain what Will said.
is codex mobile only for pro??? i have plus
I have Plus and have Codex mobile
hahahaha
Codex Mobile is available for Plus. Mobile/Android to Windows is no longer working / unsupported yet.
damn, i have android and windows
me too
time to get a Mac and iPhone
hell nahh
It was working the other day "by accident" but as development continues they disabled it. ๐
i made peace with sama
I'm sure he's relieved.
bruh, i just want to use codex when im on the toilet xD
Get a mac or wait ... or hold the WC for a while...
Macs are a better user experience
oh please, no OS or browser wars, please?
i like gemini!
i'm still using codex extension on my ide. waiting for the day codex comes to linux
Wait, people still have browser wars? Like which distro of Chromium is the best???
I prefer Lynx...
ladybird go brr
I prefer curl
chrome or helium
chrome
i use thorium because im lazy and helium doesnt support something i need but i cant recall atm
anyone testet 3.5 flash vs 5.5 low?
IT WASN'T A QUESTION
womp womp
i'm telling YOU ๐ซต
didnt compare them, but seemed pretty bad
i didnt give it a fair chance tbh but after his 'redesign' = add a dark mode with 0 contrast i just quit
They just reset limits and I'm down to 80% weekly, damn it's going to be tough after May 31st
did they?
yeah they must have, I'm back at 99%
they did the reset cuz the rates dont work properly
but hey, props to them for at least trying to compensate compared to cc
the 2x is now permanent on the 20x pro
where can i read about this?
i guess they mean may 31 instead of march, which means 5h limits will go down after though
or maybe they really mean march and they will not
No 2nd reset here, but not sweating it too much ๐
good stuff
its not that simple ๐
openai loves to confuse
https://developers.openai.com/codex/pricing#whats-the-current-codex-usage-promo-on-pro
Hmmm, that explains the slightly higher 5hr drain. All things considered 20x 5hr seems to be on the money
Oh awesome
It reads like 20x is on going
Lol retaliation
Lets go, we got a reset again
Yea so weekly limits stay at 2x, but 5h will drop slightly, supposedly from 25x plus to 20x plus
thats my reading at least
It also means that the pro 100 is essentially the old pre-promo 200, better even because the old 200 was supposedly only 6x the usage of the old 20 plus
But whatever, as long as the resets keep coming lol
did codex 7 day limit get reduced recently?
sry misread ๐
they didnt get reduced supposedly but there have been some problems with caching so they drained faster (for some) which is why there were 2 manual resets in last 2-3 days
I love manual resets
Hey! I am trying to get into agentic workflows and was wondering the best way to start with it / how to learn it. I guess my main question is between codex and openclaw. I know codex has its own agent but can it do the same things openclaw can? Im a math guy so im not as fluent with the systems aspect of it lol
Right. But codex is able to connect to (some) apps right? So is it still possible to like automate it through codex as long as it can connect to the app?
the codex app has a bunch of integrations yeah, and you can build whatever is missing with codex
and automations are built in too
Within the codex app I believe u can make your own automation I suppose
Power of scripts and cron jobs, gets you along way atleast ๐๐ผ
I see. Ty all. Sorry for the silly questions lol
dw, this is not stackoverflow, there're no question that is too silly
I am trying to use Codex with WSL and keep getting hung up on what needs to be configured where -- does the configuration in Windows matter, or the configuration in WSL? Or both?
buy a mac
This is the correct awnser unfortunately
it feels like the answer is "configure it in both" and with little rhyme or reason
did you ask codex
We've had really bad luck with using Azure with Codex, the user experience is just downright miserable
it should be able to figure it out as the app server is open source
not with the backwater models we have avail in Azure
azure has no gpt 5.5?
not in our region, it's 4.1 or 5.1 but 5.1 doesnt work half of the time
best I can tell they're throttle 5.1 due to lack of capacity on Azure
wow thats ancient
yeah, hopefully AWS does a better job with things than Azure did
my codex says this:
Short version: configure the environment where the codex process is actually running.
For WSL, treat Codex like a Linux app:
- User config/auth/logs: WSL side, usually ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.codex/log/...
- Env vars like OPENAI_API_KEY, MCP tokens, PATH, node, python, git: set/install them inside WSL
- Project config: the repoโs .codex/config.toml matters wherever the repo lives. If the repo is under /mnt/c/..., that file is physically on Windows disk but read through
WSL.
Windows config only matters if they are running the native Windows Codex binary from PowerShell/CMD/Windows-side app. Then it uses Windows paths such as %USERPROFILE%\.codex
and %ProgramData%\OpenAI\Codex\config.toml.
A good diagnostic is to run this inside the terminal where they launch Codex:
which codex
codex doctor --all
If which codex points into /mnt/c/... or to codex.exe, they may be accidentally running the Windows binary from WSL. For the least confusion, install/run the Linux Codex
binary inside WSL and keep Codex config there.
thanks I'll have to futz with it more tomorrow. I tried to set up an MCP today and just nothing seemed to work right
as soon as you use azure half of the ui seems to just break
With the new reset, Iโm not sure if it affects anything, but previously when I ran a goal, it would continue running even after the credits ran out. Now, when the credits run out while itโs running, it actually shows a message saying weโre out of credits.
Is GPT 5.5 going slow and acting stupid for anyone else today?
It's been on a simple task for an hour and repeated itself a few times
๐ฎ i got a usage reset was getting mighty close to having to stop for the week
I noticed this as well, for it was if there was a large task running during a reset it wouldnt count towards usage until i started another turn after the reset.
I just ran into the issue that codex is opening at /Users/[users] rather then the directory you're in on the latest version
Something has gone bad
I see no codex updates tho? Hm
whoever want to pplay amongus the code is FZULRG
Codex CLI
on my case it was smart
is /goal only available on 10x / 20x Pro plans?
Plus plan works too, you need to enable it inside your config.toml
I am using the codex app, what's the config flag?
inside config.toml, put in
goals = true```
Thank you!
the app to use it, type /goal <your objective>, it should work, the app doesn't show /goal as a feature for whatever reason but it does send things as goal
Would /goal automatically continue after my usage limits refresh?
It does ask me if I want to continue my goal after I accidentally turn off the app, so I think yeah
Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it
been using goal more in subagent tasks, gets pretty good results
God Bless OpenCode. Been using GPT5.5 xHigh and it barely hit the Weekly limit.
what was the reset for this time
17% -3% .. yesterday it was 13% -1% on ... they cut the weekly limits now 2x ish
you have 200 plan ?
I'm on the $20 plan
I just connected my ChatGPT account in OpenCode
cus sam altman got more than 1 like on his tweet
?! you on 20 usd plan .. wat ?!
I thought that was just a joke and there was an actual reason stated somewhere
that's funny
Yes I am. And I've been spamming GPT 5.5 xHigh on OpenCode like crazy
oh wait so that is a new way ?! you dont use codex itself ?!
Yes, using Codex directly burns a lot of usage.
I connected my ChatGPT account to OpenCode and it barely hit my limits.
wait .. so you go to opencode .. connect normal chatgpt ..
i need to test that lol ..
how ?! so install first opencode
you mean codex desktop app or opencode desktop app
Opencode Desktop App to do the coding using my ChatGPT Plus Subscription.
Codex Desktop App just to monitor my remaining rate limits.
ok bc chatgpt i never reach any ratelimit i dont even know where to see them ..
codex yes ..
which one you cho0se ?
that would be crazy if we get tight up the chatgpt browser and not the codex version .. that would be insane lol
will a compation event cost limit ?
its codex
I choose browser here
season 4 is great
its codex CLI still
Lmao, I haven't watched it yet but I will once the episodes are completed.
It uses your Codex limits in OpenCode
that is insane !!!
yes not chatgpt i thought you talk about chatgpt sub
but also you said you have the 20 usd plan ..
?
yes, it technically costs a small amount
ahhh isee
rate limit you showed are way better than mine on 100% usd plan ..
im guessimg codex prioritizes completeing a task as much as it can before compacting
but this can sause issues
where 2 big tasks back to back cause multiple compaction events
Lmao, I'm on the $20 plan and haven't honestly consumed a weekly rate limit.
Opencode is somehow more efficient
yea if you have a normal life the plan is honestly amazing
5 hour increments is great
will test that out
whats opencode ?
Wow really, Iโm very curious how they managed to achieve that
A open source coding agent
vs codex
Not codex/Claude level reasoning
i see
Codex excels in Generating production level code quality
codex for the win
Agree but codex is good in terms of reasoning. OpenCode free models have higher rates of hallucination
And it isn't reliable long term
Maybe paid plans of OpenCode might be a better competitior with codex
What I'm talking about is using your Codex sub in OpenCode
Wait can u do that?
Woah
Yeah check this out
Is that free
like an api ?
If you already have a Codex sub, then yes it's free
whats codex sub ?
Uhh yeah I have plus. But the sub is ending soon
How did u do it BTW?
I love how the limits barely affect my weekly ones.
And I already had multiple sessions here
So you are saying gpt 5.5 with OpenCode but codex is more efficient?
Yup
How did you integrate?
I use OpenCode to do all the work and plug my OpenAI account there.
I use the Codex app to monitor my rate limits
Download the OpenCode Desktop App, choose Connect Your Provider, then login your ChatGPT account
Okk thanks!
whats the benifit ?
I did use OpenCode but their own free models
More efficient
my code quality wont degrade ?
It depends on the model ofc
mm
if y'all found a loophole enjoy it before openai notices
opencode app is pretty jank compared to codex app, i gave it a go with deepseek v4 i added $5 to the api and worked with it for a bit to get a feel for it. DS v4 pro is cheap compared to api prices but it uses a tonne of tokens and opencode app just doesnt have the utility codex app does.
Doesn't matter if it sucks or not. The question is, will it get the job done more efficiently. It works for me, and it saves me a lot of limit compared to using Codex directly.
How does it save tokens?
Locates file faster than Codex spamming grep or rg
it is difficult to see how a significant savings could be achieved in that area unless the codebase in question is such a cluster f that navigating it poses legitimate challenges to LLM agents
/compact will compact it or do you mean something else?
im about to start a big task and im currently at 93% filled tokens
Probably magic instead. But in my experience, Codex would call some unrelated files and analyze them which wastes a lot of tokens.
i dont want it to compat mid task
Hello guys i have a question can i build a automated task with codex ? Generating content and images ?
it should be fine
i have chats that go one for many compactions and i just let it compact and it doesnt seem to matter at all. It used to, but they have a really good algo now, dunno what it is but it seems to just know everything it needs to.
For example creat describtion of a view , then creat image promt promt , then based on ilage promt he creat the image ? Can i do that ? Manually i used to like say next next
i see
cant wait for robots to take over thr world
its gonna be dope
can i build a automated task with codex ? Without using api via n8n or smth
do you want it to run at a given time or is it just a structured run you want to do on demand?
You can do both, codex app has automations that are run like a cron job and skills allow for structured runs on demand
I can do both for example i every day he do a spy of 10 content and creat of that 10 content the description and the ilage promt of that description and after that the image
Instead of being hours to just tell chatgpt next no next content ect..
You can do pretty much do all of it with skills and automations in codex app
Oh really, better than an automated workflow with api ?
Define what this is: automated workflow with api
What i use to do creat content put it in sheet grab that content creat image promt after that next agent create image
All of that with n8n nodes
I wonder if i can build this with codex at a specific time daily
I use api of gemini
No i never used codex
Am asking if i can
Do this with codex
I can't really answer without getting intimate with your actual work. Maybe someone else is willing to do that.
Seems like it should just work with a skill. But who knows with out knowing the details
What platform are you on?
anyone else feel like Codex usage is still depleting fast?
Yes, i now write a while sprint with all the skills thatโs needed for it to be completed , computer use, manual smoke testing with mcp. each sprint runs like an hour just bcuz the usage depleting so fast
I miss the time where I could just spam reques
Can you guys see tool calls? Did they hide it?
yes it is
noooooo
so that wasn't a feature, it was a bug
๐
Is here a support chat?
yes emotional support for depleted usage limits
crazy how fast usage limits are depleting now
sounds like something that should be toggleable
toggles/options ๐ devs!
yo bros, where can i see my usage?
thanks bro
or enable status line settings
So now it stops mid edits and leaves half-broken files behind?
That already happened in the past if you sent a follow-up while it was hitting limits.
If you haven't tried it, set up Claude as your dispatch (basically yourself
as PM) and spin up 3-4 Codex terminal windows. Mac Mini runs 24/7 on
autopilot toward a clear endgame, Claude manages, Codex does the heavy
lifting.
Running this nonstop on a CRM refactor (that about 50 ppl use). iPad in the corner for
status from dispatch, Mac Mini just grinding away.
Each Codex window does plan-first, runs tests, self-reviews, writes
detailed commits, updates docs in the same commit. Dispatch kills loops
when Codex spirals and enforces hard boundaries (no destructive
migrations, no prod push, no breaking changes against prod mobile apps).
Hits different once you stop micromanaging. Claude alone couldn't pull
this off, Codex precision + Claude PM is unreal โ๐ผ
but why claude as pm?
1M context window opus + the cleanness of Claude Dispatch on macOS that just
works with no hazzle together witht the Claude ios on my ipad and phone. Setup is Claude as overhead PM, Codex actually has the power to plan the next batch from agents.md and a few other .mds, pick which
subagents to use, all the granular stuff. Claude is more the PM that
keeps Codex from re-testing the same feature 4 times and actually keeps
it moving toward the endgame. Codex is insane at the impl detail as we all agree on right๐๐ป Claude
is good at the zoom-out and not letting it spiral (that it tends to do ugh..)lol
Give it a try for a few hours and test it
Actually sounds like it could work well, claude is better at semantic understanding.
codex is better at following instructions
yea claude is definitely nicer for some higher level stuff, could be worth a shot
whats nice about codex as PM though is that with the sub agents v2 feature it can have a back and forth with the subagents mid-task. so maybe best of both worlds is to run this in codex with opus as main model (will be API pricing though), then use subagents with worktrees + v2
Fellas, I am not sure if I am understanding the point of "skills" in some cases. Take for instance the skill for "Sentry". Before I was using Sentry through the MCP server, with I authenticated via OAuth, and I could do everything... read issues, mark them as resolved... But with the skill, now, apparently I cant do any of that. I have to create an API token, and even then, I cannot set it anywhere to be used automatically every time. Instead I have to manually export it every time I want to use the skill... This seems useless as worst, tedious at best
use the cli instead and just put "use sentry." in agents.md
codex will figure it out from the --help output
I was talking about the CLI from the beginning
are you sure you have the right one? i know a previous version had the problems you mentioned of not being able to close issues https://cli.sentry.dev/
i havent used mine in a few weeks because i'm currently bug-free ๐
well anyway when i last used it and the cli wasnt able to close issues... codex just used the auth token from the cli as bearer token and made manual api calls lol
the skill might have a bad description, i find the generated ones are usually too la-di-da, so they arent called when you want them.
I have to admit... im not particularly sold on the "skills" thingie
me too, they simply not load reliably in the right moments. vercel did a study some months ago where they eval'd that a tight agents.md works better than skills
They need to be more to the point and around one sentence eg: For All sentry usage - Use in all cases where sentry is used.
but the end up with huge descriptions that are over bloated and too easy to ignore
The concept of a "skill" in itself seems kinda de-meriting the model itself. I was expecting AI to be smart enough to know what it needs to do, without me having to "configure" its skillset
i mostly use skills only manually invoked (you can configure that) as saved prompts
- the compressed agents.md
Yeah, but still... I wish I didnt have to
The description matters and it's over looked and probably was in that eval as well.
these are all symptoms of the bitter lesson. just workarounds until the next model doesnt need it anymore..
I'll go look and see if they give the skills used
I have skills and they almost never overlooked
but we still need to make it work with current model ofc ๐
the thing is that agents.md receives higher attention by the model as its sent seperately from the conversation history
skills are just tool results that get dropped by autocompact etc
maybe thats why i feel like i have unlimited context window, because i have this compressed agents.md
Not really, the agents.md is injected at the start of the conversation in the first turn (i think). But skills are injected into the system prompt
agents.md is sent on every call as a seperate field
thats why codex is so good at following instructions
where can i read about this, i dont think this is true
clone openai/codex and ask codex about it
i did some weeks ago, i'm pretty sure this is correct
It's only the skill meta data that is injected as well. so when it is actually called the information is loaded at the right time right next to the task it is designed to use.
maybe not re-sent on every call. but its in there as it own
what does that mean?
skills are weighted heavily they are in the system prompt
It's a skill description problem i bet my left but
Or maybe even bad skill implementation
see this this is why the skill they used didnt work
that description is really bad
the description needs to be <what it is> - <when to use it>
i had this problem early on as well, and i interrogated the agent why it didnt use the skills. The general gist of it is it's too easy to ignore and rely on training instead. That description doesnt even say when to use it.
If they change it to be `Next.js best practices - Use when working with next.js
it'll work
you can also use stronger language
Not as far I know
Agents is inject once per thread or session or how you want to call that
I just asked it yesterday about it because I renamed agents to soemthing custom
Itโs added โbegin of original messageโ so it responded within <instructions> delimiter
once at the start and not even into the system prompt
Ok, I tried again with the MCP server directly, for Sentry. This is WAY easier
The problem with mcp servers is the tools live in the context, i bet it's just a bad skill.
on the other hand it looks like skills do get attention every turn
The description is just a prompt and you know what bad prompts are like
this is the sentry skill description
Use when the user asks to inspect Sentry issues or events, summarize recent production errors, or pull basic Sentry health data via the Sentry CLI; perform read-only queries using the `sentry` command.
so it only uses it if you ASK
bad description
change it to this:
Sentry usage instructions - Always use when doing anything with sentry
and it will use it
the current description is broken because it says when the user asks
I have MANY skills and spent tonnes of time working them out.
If you arent using them you are missing out
TLDR: skills are weighted heavier than agents.md and description matters
I think I might uninstall them all...
It's tough to be wrong, but you will be ok in the long run. Eventually they will be auto generated and maintained out of sight.
So you wont need to understand it
why is codex obsessed with readonly stuff, guardrails, tons of lateral coding for hours and days before starting to code even the first line of what I asked it to do? Is that related to xHigh setting maybe?
5.5 xhigh for me is only useful for complex plans, eventually security reviews, stuff like that
Implementation it totally overthinks. high or medium are far enough.
What are you asking it to do that it canโt start straight away?
sock account
just here to poke
first comment ever just after i annoyed that other guy
depends on what AGENTS says, but we have multiple workflows that can trigger, like:
- direct response
- small code change
- normal workflow with discovery, planning, implementation, verification ceremony
you can tune it a lot if you define how you work
Question - is /goal available in the Codex app yet? I dont see it but maybe i need to enable a setting
You can just ask it to use the create_goal tool and it will
It has full support with a nice little ui etc
Yah i made a little command wrapper but would prefer to use an official one in case i am missing something.
It's not there yet for some reason
Ok cool just wanted to make sure i wasnt missing something obvious..ill keep using my hacky approach for now then
just try it
when you start typing /goal it will not show/popup anything
but it should work
(does it still need extra line in config? not sure)
I thought for a good while that when I start typing /goal it will show it in auto completion and just assumed its not available yet (in vscode extension)
also another guy here
but you just type /goal whatever
and it works
should also work in app I believe (the other guy said it worked there)
here it describes the extra config option which might be needed
https://developers.openai.com/codex/use-cases/follow-goals
(in a very ugly way in the introduction)
Did anyone else get their weekly usage reset again about 14 hours ago?
yeah, tibo reset earlier today my time
Ahh, nice!
Itโs a bit annoying how it adds 3 days to the next reset, but I understand why.
they're like drug pushers, giving us free taste tests to really get us all hooked
Yeah I know right ๐ญ haha
I am not complaining though ๐
Me either! How come they do it so often? Will it always be like this?
it won't always be like this. tibo has been resetting when things have gone wrong and they also reset per million users a few times
Ah okay, interesting! Thanks
yeah, same here
It is almost annoying.
annoying to be given free tokens?
yes, extremely annoying. like, how dare they
๐
hello, i know there's the mobile app to work remotely, but can we work remotely with from another computer too ? if so how ?
GitHub + sign in?
Whoops I accidentally deleted my message. Has anyone gotten push notifications from the ChatGPT app with codex working? In the app I have the option to set notifications but I canโt enable them in my iPhone because ChatGPT doesnโt show up under notification settings nor is that setting available when I go into the app settings within the iPhone
yes I get push notifications from ChatGPT App when a task has completed
Mine just doesnโt even have the option to enable notifications in the apps iPhone settings (not in the ChatGPT app itself it has them there and they are set)
Oh well Iโll figure it out. Thank you for verifying
You can install pushover and set up
notify = "/path/to/some/script.py"
That calls pushover
reset wen everyday
to explain the range of emotions in visuals
chief token observer lol gonna steal that
so .. those of us running Codex via API are pretty much getting hosed, eh?
well running codex via api is a hosed idea to start with
The api is for "sold services", like, not when you use it yourself
I don't know why anyone would use the API for Codex usage
mostly to ensure no usage limits, but yeah, I am very much second guessing the value of that
wouldn't you be better off on a Pro $200 plan?
evidently
are you joking ? instead of finishing it just stops now
thanks for confirming my suspicion as to how silly I've been
they fixed that bug in 0.132.0
meaning yes, it stops now, as it should.
I can only imagine that bill.
According codexbar I am somehwere around 600 dollar per day, if I where using the api
so now my code is half done and i cant use it due to the changes ?
well lol. really?
that's like you dont pay an employee and expect them to finish anyway
Reminds me of which - I should go delete that one clients site who did exactly that to me
just that that is illegal, while not paying the bill, is an administrative issue between client and provider, is it.
thanks "law" for having my back.
I mean you can just tell it to finish it (on credits or on next usage window)
or otherwise revert to previous commit until you can
just /goal resume after usage reset
pay > get work results > pay > repeat
That is how the world should work.
Unfortunately somehow many expect it in reverse, or even better simply never pay, give free. Its called profit maximizing lol.
Well shoot, 42% usage remaining
these resets are kinda scammy
i just saved usage for 2 days and now reset got me back to 100% with 7 days window again
I am not complaining about free tokens
yeah thats been the sad thing for me its always just after reset or when im saving a day off
this is actually a scam
you're holding it wrong
wait he is actually serious ๐
tokenmaxx 24/7
it messes up the windows because of the 2x ending on may 31st
even if you are tokenmaxxing
Same bro, I'm at 42% weekly usage remaining on $200 plan
there will be 1-2 more manual resets before that
1 bug + 1 model release
maybe a 3rd for the 1 million user milestone thingy
just go with the flow and tokenmaxx
whereโs that announcement
You don't need announcements to know theres a cache bug. I also think they removed the announcement that they where getting close to the next million mark
usually the hints are on that awful x site ๐
codex is moving so slow lol
was the limits lowered recently?
i had a task that took 2.5 hours
Either way itโs incredibly frustrating to have that 7 day window pushed back
5 hour finishing too fast
source: me/vibes
how? didn't everyone get a free reset ?
I had a task run for 1 day, 16 hours, 36 minutes
because of may 31st
I had a plan to extract 3 weekly limits worth of value out because of the double limit promo this month
now iโm limited to 2 weeks + the 20% that I used before reset
Tibo on X, but I donโt see anything for today
and 2x is permanent for 20x so dont stress about may 31st
it's only 9am in OpenAI land, we might see something happen today
Have you guys seen the reports that usage is being drained faster?
Was just considering starting codex 20x today
100% it is
they are yes, they still havent fixed the caching
I've been gone for a few days. Was there another reset?
which is why im saying more resets coming
iโm still at the $100 level
One yesterday
so ig the resets only screw over that plan?
Thanks. I was feeling like it shouldn't be my weekly reset time yet.
Token usage: total=59,194,427 input=57,566,491 (+ 1,758,266,112 cached) output=1,627,936 (reasoning 355,999)
Nice this was from a goal I left running yesterday
Yeah it looks like reset only screws over the people rationing their $100 plan
i mean arent the resets good ?
only the ones who dont tokenmaxx
Yeap that's why I have a $200 plan that I just go through and a $20 plan which I'm actually careful with (in case of emergencies)
they have been doing manual early resets all the time
adapt ๐
you get more time to use it
if they made resets keep the same weekly reset date, then that would be nice
I want to tokenmaxx but I want to make using codex a daily habit by not burning through more than 20% weekly per day
u clearly dont get it ๐
i mean in reality youve tokenmaxxed passed the threshhold id see that as a win
dimensional TokenMaxxing
thats only 5 days, not true tokenmaxxing
but i get your point ๐
I used to do that but then got annoyed that I was always under the threshold for resets to be worth
i just want an autoscaling api for 20x subs inside a single account
can you use the API feature in codex ?
i mean Xcode
lmfao honest mistake
they litterslly just shifted the X lmfaoooo
X Code > Code X
I tokenmaxxed at first but only using codex 2 days of the week was unsustainable. By spacing it out I can become more addicted and reliant on using it
my codex also just keeps compating and its pissing me off lol
smart man
welcome to the dark side
people who hate AI also hate themselves ive figured it out lol
for not having the drive to learn what they love , its all jealousy
compacting also makes codex forget some of the tasks you give it
not as in previous tasks up the thread but even new ones
i always notice after compaction, it literally forgets the exact thing they were just doing so it does that same task again
so dumb
Oh wow just calculated this goal run it turns out its around 1.2k
and constant reconnecting
a true tokenmaxxer ๐
what do yall even make while tokem maxing ?
building a system to orchestrate agents to tokenmaxx
I am building this
it's an image and video model app which has drag and drop of clips and images to other apps
building with Codex, the app uses the OpenAI, Google and FAL.AI APIs
can i offer a suggestion ?
of course
one moment
id structure it like this
id honestly change alot of hings around but i dont wannna infringe on your personal taste
but if you want i could help you make your app more beautiful
id also make all menues collapsable so when you want to preview your video you have nothing els to look at
it's still a work in progress but the reason for the clips on the right hand side is so you can quickly scroll through them to find what you need
you can do the same at the bottom
and have more realestate for the video the main focus
yall wanna see the app im working on ?
sure
i try and make asthetic the main priority since we have the coding agent i think workflow and ui is the most important thing to be aware of
That's cool! Can you do continuations and stuff? Like take the last frame of the video and have it stitch to it?
yes
I would focus harder on pedagogics than aesthetics
Pedagogics (often called pedagogy) is the method, theory, and practice of teaching.
for sure
10000000%
thats the goal in the later half of the project
i only spoke in general terms for any codex built project
in terms of my project
its a tool and a learning device , i agree fully
my main project doesnt have any UI and thats why its my favorite
aye yeo stright terminal text
yup
I'm looking forward to a program that lets me just play the piano, and have an AI tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how to practice to get better.
im actually doing that soon too im starting with guitar first though
but feel free to try and make one too , the world is for all of us
I'm busy making games. ๐
I just want to consume music training apps, not make them
No, my wife handles all the art.
i could help with the audio then
ive been making beats for 12 years now
what kind of game is it ?
Thanks! ๐
whats it called ?
Exalted Descendant
any preview material ?
