Problem syncing GitHub with ChatGPT (“There was a problem syncing GitHub. Try again later.”)

Coding with ChatGPT Codex CLI

Hi,

I’m having persistent issues connecting my GitHub account to ChatGPT. Each time I try to sync my repositories, I get the following error message at the top of the screen:

“There was a problem syncing GitHub. Try again later.”

I’ve already tried the following troubleshooting steps, but the problem persists:

Disconnected and reconnected my GitHub account multiple times.

Used an incognito/private browser window.

Cleared browser cache and cookies.

Tried from different browsers (Chrome, Firefox).

Verified that ChatGPT appears in my Authorized OAuth Apps on GitHub with full repo and read:user permissions.

Checked my network and GitHub security logs — no indication of a block.

Despite that, I still see the error, and the sync never completes.
The repositories do appear in the selection list, but ChatGPT fails right after I click Continue.

Could you please check if there’s an issue with the GitHub integration on your side and what could be done?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best

Same issue here. GitHub is seemingly connected, but repos syncing is not working. Seeing an error “There was a problem syncing GitHub. Try again later.” I can still select repos from “company knowledge” tab, though and I see them connected in Codex. But I guess automatic syncing will make it work faster and more conext will be available to GPT. Pls fix it. GitHub support says it’s on GPT’s side.
