Codex VS Code composer + queue mechanic is not deduped properly, I’m running into an issue where it keeps looping the same prompt on a loop, even bypassing the stop function. It leaves tasks on an endless loop I can’t close, draining usage.
The issue happens by first sending a prompt, it’s processed into queue and soon a duplicate appears, and the loop has started. I’ve stopped these, but a new prompt appears and bypasses the stop, restarting the process. These ghost prompts keep draining the usage, it’s artificially inflating usage and eating limits from users.
The bug is likely in the queuing mechanism, and it should be properly deduped, prevent ghost prompts from appearing, prevent it from generating prompts that weren’t sent by the composer and sending the same prompt twice in a row unless the composer and user explicitly forced that. One composer send => one prompt in queue, now such a limit does not exist and there’s a bug that’s causing infinite duplicates to drive up the usage. Codex should address this, fix the issues and compensate the usage limits drained by the bug.
