codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix automatic triggered "remote compact task" never works (Error running remote compact task: stream disconnected before completion) [3 comments, 4 participants]

Error message: Error running remote compact task: stream disconnected before completion: error sending request for url

TL;DR

The issue may be related to the automatic compact task failing due to a stream disconnection, and a potential workaround is to manually run the compact task before the context window limit is reached.

Guidance

• The error message suggests a stream disconnection issue, which might be related to the automatic compact task timing out or failing to complete.
• To verify, try manually running the compact task before the context window limit is reached, as mentioned in the issue, to see if it works occasionally.
• Investigate if there are any network or server-side issues that could be causing the stream disconnection, despite the direct internet connection being stable.
• Consider checking the Codex CLI documentation or support resources for any known issues or workarounds related to the compact task and stream disconnections.

Notes

The issue lacks detailed information about the network setup, server configuration, or any recent changes that might have caused this behavior, which could be crucial in identifying the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Manually run the compact task before the context window limit is reached, as this has been reported to work occasionally, while further investigation is done to identify the root cause of the automatic compact task failure.
