Recently, when I restarted Codex Desktop App, I’ve noticed a lot of requests consuming my API quota, even though I haven’t done anything. These requests all medium-intensity GPT 5.4 or low-intensity 5.4 mini.
So this might Ambient suggestion working. It will summarize your recent activities into some suggestions and then put them on the ‘New Session Page’.
If you don’t want to use it or are confused by inexplicable API requests, you can check if there is a ambient-suggestions/ in .codex/ or just check it in Codex Settings → Personalization → Ambient suggestion
Thanks for the info, I never new about this with Codex until seeing your post.
On a related side note I use ChatGPT Pulse and it also has the ability to see which coding projects I am working on and offers coding suggestions daily that I did not request.
Wondering if the two might use the same backend code.
Actually I don’t use Pulse, but the mechanism I mentioned in my post will secretly work in the background indeed. I just wonder why I don’t do anything there are some requests cosuming my API, so I found this mechanism
For those of us here, Codex and the API are different. I do use Codex, I do not use the API.
Did you mean Codex?
Your question for Codex is commonly reported on the OpenAI GitHub Codex issues tab, with some containing useful feedback from the OpenAI development staff.
