Welcome to the forum!
There are hundreds if not thousands who experience the problem, myself included.
The official way to report a Codex issue is to use the GitHub OpenAI Codex issue tab.
Search to see if your exact problem has been reported and if so then just give the first post a thumbs up to be counted. If you think your problem has not been reported than add a new issue.
I noticed few like these, but how can it help me with my issue as I haven’t noticed any solution yet. I need OpenAI to resolve it.

Do others note the exact same problem you have? Is so then read through the replies, often others may note something that my help you, or if you see something that might be of value to others then add that.
The more information the developers have and the more that people report the problem the more likely it is to get resolved.
As I noted I too have a problem and reported some extra info.

bug
windows-os
extension
### What version of the IDE extension are you using?
0.4.76
### What subscript… ion do you have?
ChatGPT Business
### Which IDE are you using?
VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf
### What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64
### What issue are you seeing?
My Codex IDE extension just stopped working one day. I have tried it on different IDEs - VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf, all get stuck. I have installed and reinstalled the Codex extension, still stuck. I installed an order Codex extension version, still doesn't work. I installed and uninstalled all the different IDEs, still stuck. Enabled/disabled Windows Sandbox, still stuck. I cleared all the configs and files in AppData, still stuck. I am at my wits end now. My workplace issues a Windows laptop so I am more or less stuck in the Windows environment.
### What steps can reproduce the bug?
Just trying to use Codex extension in the IDEs.
### What is the expected behavior?
After asking to review a file in the repo, it just gets stuck on "Thinking".
### Additional information
This is the Codex.log:

One option that looks promising that I have not tried yet. (issue )
I was able to recover the stuck threads by manually appending a terminal interruption event to the rollout file, effectively marking the unfinished turn as aborted/interrupted.
Even asked ChatGPT how to do this, create some code and if it could work as a slash command. If I were not so busy on something else I would test it out and probably publish it here.
I can’t say how long I will leave the share up, but remember I am really busy and this is not high on my list at present.
On the IDE (vscode) I have to restart the IDE and it works in 8 out of 10 times. If that doesn’t work I archive the thread and start a new one.
This also happened when I switched to fast mode - which btw. looks like it can’t be undone?
I didn’t find anything in the settings on how to leave fast mode again. – edit: it is hidden under the + icon
Exact same issue, not using fast mode.
I have 3 conversations that are “Thinking” and they refuse to queue any new messages, we get the message “Error creating task”. As soon as Codex is opened, it shows its still working on the conversation, but its been 2 days.

Have you tried archiving the thread and starting a new one? That definitely works for me.
