Cannot create new Codex task: "Server returned 451: 'no_biscuit_no_service'"

Upon trying to submit a new Codex task, a toast notification with simple “Failed to create task” appears. Inspecting the error in devconsole reveals more details - server replies with HTTP 400 with this message:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "400: 451: \"Server returned 451: 'no_biscuit_no_service'\"",
    "type": "server_error",
    "param": null,
    "code": null
  }
}

Searching for “no_biscuit_no_service” reveals no results at all. There are no concurrently running tasks, and it’s my 3rd task in last 24 hours, so it’s unlikely I have hit rate limits.

Logging out and back in didn’t help. Clearing cookies didn’t help.

I am Plus plan user.

Has anyone encountered this error? What is the reason and how could it be solved?

UPDATE: The issue has seemingly been resolved at OpenAI side.

Same issue here. Plus user as well. So what’s the deal with this happening to so many users - I didn’t see any issues with OpenAI’s codex in the status page???

Same issue here.

Server is returning 400 error:

  "error": {
    "message": "400: 451: \"Server returned 451: 'no_biscuit_no_service'\"",
    "type": "server_error",
    "param": null,
    "code": null
  }
}

This is on chrome, if i switch to a different browser (firefox) it works just fine, so this is a temp workaround

Edit: Logging out of the openai account and logging back in also seems to resolve the issue.

I was using Firefox, using my old session in Chrome worked. Then I have checked Firefox, and it seems that OpenAI have fixed the issue.

Normal because it is just new issue.

Parobably, the team is invastigating after the feedbacks of users in this thread and on other platforms.

OK I’m glad it’s working for you guys again. but are we just going to leave it at that? :rofl: nobody’s interested in speculating on what “no biscuit no service” means? Maybe a “polly wanna cracker” easter egg that got unintentionally triggered…?

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

I’ll try to get an answer from the team and report back in case of success.

So you have a few days to speculate :slight_smile:

No biscuits (cookies) no service.

I mean obviously that has to do with cookies and is an internal thing where a developer tried something and wanted to spice up the boring job of debugging with something.. just a little. I don’t think it was meant to go live though.

This error message was displayed in error and will be replaced with a more informative one going forward.
