Codex tasks aren't completing

Codex
1

The assistant gets to the end of a task and just before it finishes the task freezes.
It comes back after leaving it for about 30 minutes. That’s a long timeout. I had two tasks that were locked like this, the same prompt on both, with the first requesting Code and the second just doing an Ask.

While the instructions tell it not to make a network connection that might be the issue. It reported:

Some requests were blocked due to network access restrictions, such as attempts to reach: ‘foo.tld’ via CONNECT

The site it references is allowed in the environment, and the environment is authorized to use the network, so while it should not have tried a network connect, that should all be working and was working last week.

One of the tasks also reported a network error during package initialization. I’ve never seen that error and it only happened on one of the two concurrent tasks. I’ll add handling around the setup process to tell the assistant to avoid beginning the task if a setup failure occurs. :roll_eyes:

I don’t know what else to add but I’ll continue using Codex on Monday.
Thanks.

Been dealing with a similar situation for over a week now.

Codex will say it’s wrapping up the task, but then just locks. For me, the task never resolves. It never provides a final message or creates a PR.

Had another example of this today.

Asked for a refactor. Agent says it completed in 3 mins, but it’s been over 30 mins and the PR has not been created yet.

After a few other hiccups, Codex seems to be working fine now. I’ll attribute it to disruptions from the huge Agent rollout. I’d be fine with closing this unless someone else suggests it’s still an ongoing issue.
