Codex “This content may violate our usage policies”

I’ve been consistently seeing the warning “This content may violate our usage policies” from Codex no matter what prompt I enter. Could anyone please let me know why this is happening and how I can resolve it? Thank you!

Hi and welcome to the community!

I can only speculate here since I’ve never had a task rejected when working with any of the GPT models on codebases. My guess is that something in your code is triggering the policy warning.

One thing I’ve noticed: the model does read parts of the codebase even if I explicitly ask to do something else. That’s likely a result of how Codex has been fine-tuned — and in my view, it’s expected behavior for this kind of application.

Hi
Thanks for the suggestion! To rule that out, I’ve already tried several different repositories—including an empty repo and another with just a simple file—but I still get the same “This content may violate our usage policies” warning every time. Do you have any other ideas on what might be causing this or additional steps I could try?

wild guess: create another git account and connect.

it could be that, for some unfathomable reason, the model finds kireinasore offensive.

I signed up for another GitHub account and created an empty repo. and sent with the prompt “Hello,” yet it still says I violated the policy. I’m really frustrated.
