codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Autocompaction fails [1 comments, 2 participants]

autocompaction gets stuck at this and sends error: Error running remote compact task: stream disconnected before completion: error sending request for url (https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses/compact)

TL;DR

Investigate and adjust the autocompaction process to handle large context sizes, such as 760k or 1mm, to prevent the stream from disconnecting before completion.

Guidance

• Verify if the issue is specific to the thread with ID 019d7927-56b7-7110-99a9-05daa49544de or if it occurs with other threads having large context sizes.
• Check the Codex App's configuration and settings to see if there are any limitations or thresholds for autocompaction, especially for large context sizes.
• Attempt to reproduce the issue with a smaller context size to determine if the issue is indeed related to the size of the context.
• Consider implementing a retry mechanism or adjusting the timeout settings for the autocompaction process to handle intermittent disconnections.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the size of the context, but the exact cause is unclear. The fact that the issue is not consistent and can sometimes be resolved by prompting again suggests that it may be related to a timeout or a resource limitation.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the autocompaction process to handle large context sizes, such as increasing the timeout or implementing a retry mechanism, as the root cause of the issue is unclear and may require further investigation.
