Built with Codex: @warengonzaga made Codex a Suno music producer.

- Writes original lyrics, builds Style prompts, preps faithful covers
- Checks the full brief before spending Suno credits
- Learns your style per project, no one-size preset

Install:
codex plugin marketplace add warengonzaga/suno-music-producer

Heads-up: Suno's MCP access may be invite-only. Without it, the skill still preps lyrics and prompts.

Now live: one dot, multiple computers. You pick which machine runs each task.

For Codex users, that means your dot can run a local Codex task on a second Mac or a build box while you keep coding on your laptop.

How to set it up:
1. Open your dot's profile in the ChatGPT app on each computer
2. Under Computers, select Allow, then Allow access

Each thread uses one computer at a time, and the ChatGPT app has to stay open on that machine. Connecting a computer to Codex doesn't give your dot access by itself.

Now live: the Codex edition ModRetro Chromatic on OpenAI Supply Co.

What you get in Codex: the ModRetro Chromatic plugin, so you can design levels, animate sprites and playtest your game on the handheld.

The shop also lists a ModRetro Codex cartridge and a Codex edition case. No price showed on the shop page when we checked, so confirm at checkout.

Following up on yesterday's teaser. Shop: openai.com/supply/shop/

3 Codex CLI v0.167 shortcuts worth saving:

1. codex agents --no-daemon
Opens the agent command center. Unread results are now marked.

2. Ctrl+L
Clears the terminal display. Earlier messages stay available with Ctrl+T.

3. Chat won't resume after a provider switch
It stays visible now. Open its transcript and prep an editable prompt to continue in a new chat.

Update: npm i -g @openai/codex@0.167.0
Notes: github.com/openai/codex/r…

Nov 5 Terra spike: ~30% of one user's week, gone.

One Business user logged every GPT-6.1 Terra call and did the maths (GitHub issue 59690):
- Nov 1 to 4: 0.32% of the 5-hour limit per call
- Nov 5: 3.03% per call, about 9x more, with ~99% of input still shown as cached
- 73 calls on Nov 5 moved the weekly meter 34 points. At the old rate that's about 2 to 3

Their read: cached input on Terra was briefly billed at full price. By Nov 6 the same CLI build (0.166.0) was billing normally again, so the fix looks server-side.

Not a one-off. Issue 59639 links 16 reports of unexpected quota burn opened Nov 2 to 5, across CLI, desktop and IDE.

Check yours: compare your weekly meter in /status with what you actually ran on Nov 5.

Fair ask to OpenAI: confirm what happened on Nov 5 and restore usage for accounts that were overcharged.

github.com/openai/codex/i…

Known bug: Codex desktop refuses to schedule job monitoring.

OpenAI's Scheduled tasks docs list "checking a long-running operation until it finishes" as a use for a schedule inside a chat. Since Nov 5, users on Mac and Windows report the desktop app declining exactly that, even for a GitHub PR or a remote training job that has nothing to do with Codex.

What's going on, per GitHub issue 59546:
- The app's built-in instructions say not to create an automation that tracks a job or task through a milestone, failure or completion
- The assistant reads that as covering outside jobs too, and stops before it ever calls the scheduler
- Its fallback is to keep checking in the current turn, which ends when the turn does

Reported on desktop builds 26.1029 and 26.1103. One user says other chats still schedule fine, but no reliable workaround has been confirmed yet.

Fair ask to OpenAI: scope that instruction to Codex's own tasks, or say in the docs that external job monitoring isn't supported.

November 9: Codex x ModRetro Chromatic drops on Supply Co.

@OpenAIDevs just posted a "Tomorrow." teaser. The video shows an OpenAI-branded handheld box, the OpenAI and ModRetro Chromatic logos, and a clip calling it the Codex collab.

This is the same partnership ModRetro announced in September: Chromatic hardware plus Codex for making games. The teaser gives no price or specs, and the item is not on the Supply Co. shop yet.

Codex this week: 7 changes, 5 user pain points, all here.

Nov 1 to Nov 8, checked against OpenAI's posts, changelog, status page and GitHub.

Releases
1. CLI v0.167.0 (Nov 6): agent command center via codex agents --no-daemon, switch backends without losing your draft, opt-in chats no longer vanish when you change model providers.
2. GPT-Image-2.6 came to Codex and the API (Nov 4). OpenAI says the new Flare and Sunburst API models generate images 50% faster.
3. GPT-6 Cyber launched Nov 5, in Codex and the API for approved Daybreak Red orgs only.
4. ChatGPT iOS 1.2026.300 (Nov 2): follow-ups steer the running task by default, and you can manage attachments in the full-screen composer.
5. Dots on iOS: reply inline from a notification, share straight to your dot, open it from the Action button. Tibo says Terra and Astra will power dots too.

Limits and pricing
6. Banked reset 2 of 2 landed Nov 1, the last day of Tibo's 28-day run. Redeem it in Usage settings or with /usage before it expires.
7. Tibo spelled out current Pro rates: Pro 100/200/500 = 10x/20x/50x Plus usage, no 5-hour cap on any Pro plan, ultrafast on Pro 500 only. Not a new increase. He also asked whether a Pro 50 tier would make sense. Just a question for now.

Incidents
- Nov 5: errors in ChatGPT Work and dots for about 1h40m until a mitigation went in.

What users are saying
- "Selected model is at capacity" with plenty of quota left. The loudest complaint of the week, on X and in several GitHub issues (#58824, #58858, #59059), across CLI and desktop, Plus and Pro. Several reporters say switching models doesn't help. No official explanation yet.
- Local projects vanish from the desktop sidebar after the 26.1103 update when you switch accounts (#59895, Windows and Mac). Chats and folders are still on disk. One user got them all back by re-adding a project with the exact same name and folder, then deleting the duplicate.
- Attaching an .xlsx leaves Send spinning (#58660 Windows, #59362 Mac). Two reporters got around it by typing the file's local path in the message instead.
- Typing lag in dot chats in the Mac desktop app (#59301). Several users say the same dot runs fine in Chrome.
- Pushback on December's shared ChatGPT + Codex pool continues on GitHub (#58742, #58655).

What people are asking OpenAI for: a status note or a clearer error when accounts with quota left get "at capacity", local projects shared across accounts on one machine again, and per-plan token numbers before December.

Community shoutout
@turushan built Codex Whip, a free, open-source Mac menu bar app. When Codex CLI stops on a capacity error or usage limit, it waits, then continues the same session with the same model: codexwhip.com

Tip
Reopen your latest CLI session in this folder, no picker:
codex resume --last

The missing sidebar projects are the ones I’d worry about after an account switch. A view that shows the folders still on disk would save people from guessing whether their work was actually deleted.

Good call. The chats and folders are still on disk after the switch, so the work itself is not deleted.

Try a full quit from File > Quit ChatGPT (not the window X), then reopen while signed in. If the list is still empty, add one missing project with the exact same name and folder; one reporter said that brought every project back, including chat history. Then delete the empty duplicate.

A sidebar view of folders that are still on disk would save people from guessing.

Wrote the workarounds up here: x.com/CodexUpdate/st…

7 项变更里，哪个修掉的痛点最有感？

Among the 7 changes, the clearest user-facing fix is in CLI v0.167.0: saved chats no longer vanish when you change model providers.

The loudest pain from this week, "selected model is at capacity" while quota is left, still has no official explanation or fix.

Known bug: desktop projects vanish after you switch accounts.

After the 26.1103 Codex desktop update, switching ChatGPT accounts can empty the local Projects sidebar on Windows and Mac. See GitHub issue 59895. Your chats stay under Recents, and the project folders are still on disk. The work itself is not deleted.

Workarounds people have reported:
1. Fully quit the app with File > Quit ChatGPT (closing the window is not enough, because it can stay in the tray), then reopen it while already signed in. This brought the list back for several reporters. It does not work for everyone, and the empty sidebar can return after the next account switch.
2. Add one of the missing projects again, using the exact same name and folder. One reporter said every missing project then reappeared, including the original with its chat history. Delete the empty duplicate afterward.

Fair ask to OpenAI: keep local projects visible across accounts on the same machine, as they were before this update, or ship a supported restore path so people do not have to guess whether their work is gone.

github.com/openai/codex/i…

Pro 100 = 10x Plus usage, no 5-hour cap.

Tibo from OpenAI's Codex team just spelled out the current Pro multipliers vs Plus:

- Pro 100 = 10x
- Pro 200 = 20x
- Pro 500 = 50x, plus access to ultrafast

This is a clarification of today's rates, not a new increase. Ultrafast stays on Pro 500 only. Buying extra credits on Pro 100 or Pro 200 does not unlock it.

Check your tier in Settings > Usage, or run /usage in the CLI.

Help center: help.openai.com/en/articles/97…

Enable System proxy in /experimental to use your OS proxy.

In CLI v0.167.0 on macOS or Windows, this is off by default.

Two ways to turn it on:
1. Type /experimental and enable System proxy
2. Or run:
codex features enable respect_system_proxy

Restart Codex after you change it.

If Codex doctor mentions a Mac proxy, it now points to this same switch.

Notes: github.com/openai/codex/r…

Codex CLI v0.167.0 is out (stable), plus 1 thing you may have missed this week.

What's new:
- codex agents --no-daemon opens the agent command center, with unread results marked
- Switch connected backends from the session picker without losing your draft
- Preview local images while you compose, on supported terminals
- API key and cloud sign-in now live under "Sign in another way", with an opt-in Vertex AI setup wizard (gcp_setup_wizard)

Fixes worth knowing:
- Saved chats stay visible after you switch model providers, and a chat that can't resume becomes an editable prompt for a new one
- Ctrl+L clears the screen but keeps history behind Ctrl+T
- Auto-compaction now counts output from failed responses

ICYMI: GPT-Image-2.6 came to Codex and the API on Nov 4. OpenAI says the new Flare and Sunburst API image models generate 50% faster.

Our take: if you hop between providers, grab this one. Your old chats stop vanishing.

Update: npm i -g @openai/codex@latest
Notes: github.com/openai/codex/r…

Banked reset 2 of 2 is live. Day 28, the final day of Tibo's 28-day run.

Like the first one, it doesn't refill anything until you redeem it:
- Desktop app: Settings > Usage & billing
- Web: Usage settings
- CLI: /usage, then Redeem reset
- Not in the mobile app

Plus and Business get the 5-hour and weekly allowances back, Pro gets the weekly. It only redeems once an allowance is under 80% remaining, and it expires, so check the date shown in Usage.

One gotcha: with "Allow your assistant to use resets" on in the desktop app, Codex can spend it for you at 10% or less. Turn it off if you want to pick the moment.

help.openai.com/en/articles/20…

3 banked-reset gotchas to know before you redeem yours:

1. Codex can spend it for you. With "Allow your assistant to use resets" on in the desktop app, it can redeem one once your 5-hour or weekly allowance is at 10% or less. Turn it off if you want to choose the moment.

2. Resets don't stack. If a global reset lands after you redeem, you go back to 100%, not 200%, and the banked one isn't returned.

3. Plus and Business: check both bars first. The 5-hour and weekly periods end at different times, and a reset only restores allowances below 100%.

To see when one was used: desktop app, Settings > Usage & billing > History (last 30 days).

9 stable releases and a 28-day run: Codex's October, all in one post.

Everything that shipped or changed in October 2026, checked against GitHub, OpenAI's changelog, help pages and official posts. Bookmark it for reference.

1. Biggest launches
- GPT-6.1 Terra came to Codex on usiness, Enterprise and Edu. Tibo says it gives 2x the usage of 6.1 Sol.
- GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast arrived Oct 8. OpenAI says it's up to 8x faster than Sol Standard. Pro $500 and eligible Enterprise and Edu only.
- Sol's default context in Codex went from 272k to 500k tokens on Oct 11, with no long-context fees on a ChatGPT plan.
- Tibo started a 28-day run on Oct 4: one clear improvement or a full limits reset every day.
- Also shipped: composer predictions (beta, Pro), a re-shipped Codex cloud with Tailscale support, a new Windows sandbox built on Microsoft's MXC, editing earlier messages in the desktop app, and about 60% less app data on disk plus a Storage tab.

2. Every stable CLI release
- 0.160.0 (Oct 1): start sessions outside a project, fewer SQLite stalls, Windows sandbox fixes
- 0.160.1 (Oct 5): keeps Windows env vars for remote MCP servers
- 0.161.0 (Oct 7): GPT-6.1 Sol becomes the default model, /mcp login, mic and speaker picker
- 0.162.0 (Oct 8): managed Git worktrees, pin tasks with p, /copy, clickable links
- 0.162.1 (Oct 9): fixes a TUI crash and background-server startup failures
- 0.163.0 (Oct 15): searchable /config, steer mid-response, leader key in /keymap, /daemon restart
- 0.164.0 (Oct 23): ten /presets slots, inline /model and /permissions, image previews
- 0.165.0 (Oct 27): built-in Vertex AI provider, Terra in the catalog, memory v2 on by default
- 0.166.0 (Oct 29): codex doctor --network-only, transcript search, codex queue --resume

3. Pricing, plans and limits
- Full limit resets landed again and again during the run, including Days 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 21 and 23. The run closes with banked resets you redeem yourself.
- Auto-review ("Approve for me") stopped counting against usage (Day 2). Day 12 stretched usage with longer caching, and Day 16 made the cache keep with no expiry for logged-in users.
- GPT-5.5 left Codex for ChatGPT sign-in on Oct 14. API-key sessions kept it.
- About 40,000 accounts had limits that didn't match their plan. OpenAI fixed it and added credits. Pro 500 upgraders hit by a separate bug got 25,000 credits.
- Codex for OSS grants moved up to the Pro 200 tier.
- Oct 29: limits doubled for Pro 100, 200, 500 and Business Premium, and the planned Pro 200 cut was cancelled.
- Pro and Business now get monthly API credits. They don't add to your Codex allowance.
- New device limits cap how many paid accounts one machine can hold ("Device limit reached").
- Coming in December: ChatGPT and Codex share one token-based allowance on Plus, Pro and Business.

4. What people hit, and the fixes
- Sudden usage drain (mid-month): a confirmed bug, now fixed. If it happens again, run /feedback in the affected session and check /usage daily.
- "Selected model is at capacity" or 429s with quota left (GitHub #57084): no official fix yet. Switch with /model, then codex resume to continue.
- VS Code extension 26.1021 won't start its UI: users report the pre-release build, rolling back with Install Specific Version, or launching with code --disable-gpu.
- Worktree chats fail with "Cannot serialize value" on Windows and Linux: Local mode still works.
- Max or Ultra missing from the reasoning slider (#58201): re-check it in Settings > General > Available reasoning efforts.
- Usage rings gone from the desktop sidebar (#57656): use Settings > Usage or /status.
- Security: don't launch Codex inside ~/Downloads, where Forever Security found a planted AGENTS.md. Don't install from reseller one-liners either. Symantec caught one turning the sandbox off.

5. Three tips worth keeping
- Get a baseline before December's shared pool: /usage daily and /usage weekly in the CLI.
- Pipe anything into Codex: npm test 2>&1 | codex exec "summarize the failures and propose the smallest fix"
- Mind the AGENTS.md cap. Codex merges your AGENTS.md files and stops at 32 KiB (project_doc_max_bytes), so split rules into nested folders.

Ask for November: publish the per-plan token allowance before the shared pool starts, so users can do the maths.

Heads-up: stacking paid accounts on one machine for extra Codex usage can now get you locked out.

OpenAI's new help page on card and device limits:
- One device can only use so many paid accounts (Go, Plus, Pro 100/200/500)
- Hit it and you see "Device limit reached" at sign-in, or get signed out later, even if the purchase went through
- Signing out of another account doesn't free a slot
- Business, Enterprise, Edu and Free don't count toward it

This lands the same week multi-account switching shipped on mobile, so check before you buy a second sub. The sanctioned route to more usage is credits under Usage & Billing in the Codex app.

help.openai.com/en/articles/20…

What is the cap tho? that's not clear.

Good question. OpenAI's help page doesn't give an exact number, so we can't say what the cap is. It only says one device can use so many paid personal accounts (Go, Plus, Pro), and Business, Enterprise, Edu and Free don't count.

Mmmm are you sure about this? @thsottiaux just posted how they’d just made it easier to switch between paid accounts…which, if anything, sounds like they’re embracing account stacking.

Fair question. OpenAI's help page says device limits are separate from account switching limits, so switching still works. The cap is on how many paid personal accounts (Go, Plus, Pro) one device can use. The page is linked at the bottom of the post.

Codex this week: 9 changes, 5 user pain points, all here.

Oct 25 to Nov 1, checked against OpenAI's posts, help pages and GitHub.

Releases
1. GPT-6.1 Terra rolled out in Codex for Plus, Pro, Enterprise and Edu (Oct 26). Tibo says it gives 2x the usage of 6.1 Sol.
2. CLI t-in Vertex AI provider, change reasoning effort mid-chat, memory v2 on by default.
3. CLI v0.166.0 (Oct 29): Terra in the Vertex AI and Bedrock catalogs, codex doctor --network-only, transcript search, and a fix for early compaction after resume or fork.
4. Text your dot over iMessage or RCS (Pro, US preview). Multi-account switching landed on mobile, with desktop "coming soon".

Limits and pricing
5. Limits doubled for Pro 100, 200, 500 and Business Premium, and the Oct 30 Pro 200 cut was cancelled.
6. Pro and Business now get monthly API credits ($100 to $500 on Pro). They don't raise your Codex allowance.
7. Confirmed: from December, ChatGPT and Codex share one token-based allowance on Plus, Pro and Business.
8. New device limits: one machine can only hold so many paid accounts, or you get "Device limit reached".
9. Banked reset 1 of 2 is live. Redeem it in Usage settings or with /usage in the CLI.

Incidents and security
- Oct 27: GPT-6.1 Sol was degraded for about 78 minutes, then resolved.
- Don't run Codex inside ~/Downloads (Forever Security found a planted AGENTS.md), and don't install it from reseller one-liners (Symantec caught one turning the sandbox off).
- Forever Security says a local HTML page opened in Codex's built-in browser can read files on disk. Still unpatched as of Oct 29, per their write-up.

What users are saying
- 429 and "at capacity" errors with most of the allowance left, mostly VS Code on Linux. The busiest new GitHub issue this week (#57084, 87 comments). No fix yet. Switch models with /model, and codex resume picks the session back up.
- VS Code extension 26.1021.22027 "could not start its user interface" on Linux and Windows, across several issues. Reported workarounds: the pre-release build, an older version, or launching with code --disable-gpu.
- Usage rings vanished from the desktop app sidebar after recent updates (#57656, Windows and Mac). Check Settings > Usage or /status meanwhile.
- Max or Ultra missing from the reasoning slider after 26.1027 (#58201). Fix confirmed by several users: Settings > General > Available reasoning efforts, re-check the level.
- The shared December pool is the loudest topic on X, and a GitHub request to keep Plus allowances separate is gaining votes (#58530).

What people are asking OpenAI for: publish how chat and Codex tokens will be counted before December, bring the usage rings back, post a status note when 429s hit accounts with quota left, and give a fix date for the built-in browser issue.

@talkaboutdesign built agent-stat, which shows your local Codex usage, per-request cost and live limits in one place: npx agent-stat@latest

Tip
Hold your banked reset until you need it. It only redeems once an allowance is under 80% remaining, and it moves your weekly reset date to the day you use it.
