What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

I don't know what info the API returns, but it would be nice get some idea of how soon the cache is going to expire.

Perhaps you could estimate when it is going to expire, and display a countdown timer

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing a cache expiration countdown timer requires accessing the cache's expiration information through the API.

Guidance

  • Investigate the API documentation to determine if it provides cache expiration information or timestamps.
  • If the API does not provide expiration information, consider reaching out to the API maintainers or support team to request this feature.
  • If expiration information is available, design a countdown timer feature that estimates the time until cache expiration based on the provided data.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of displaying this information in the CLI, considering factors like user experience and technical limitations.

Notes

The implementation details of the countdown timer and its display in the CLI depend on the specific API capabilities and the technology stack being used, which are not specified in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the API's capabilities are unknown, it's safer to first investigate and potentially request the necessary features from the API maintainers before attempting to implement a workaround.
