codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex App /status menu does nothing or no longer shows remaining usage limits

Summary

In the Codex desktop app, opening the slash command menu with / and selecting Status currently appears to fail: the status panel does not open, or it no longer shows the remaining usage/rate-limit information users expect.

Please fix this regression. The remaining usage limits are important during active Codex sessions, especially for long-running work.

Environment

• Product: Codex desktop app
• Platform: Windows
• Date observed: 2026-05-28
• Slash command: /status / Status from slash menu

Expected behavior

Selecting Status should open the status view and show useful session/rate-limit information, including remaining usage limits or a clear link/path to the Codex usage dashboard.

Official documentation still says current limits are available in the Codex usage dashboard and that /status can be used during an active Codex CLI session to see remaining limits:

The IDE slash-command documentation also describes /status as showing thread ID, context usage, and rate limits:

https://developers.openai.com/codex/ide/slash-commands#available-slash-commands

Actual behavior

• Typing / and clicking Status in the Codex app does not reliably open the expected status view.
• Remaining usage/rate-limit information is not visible from the Codex app where the work is happening.
• Users have to leave the app and manually check https://chatgpt.com/codex/settings/usage instead.

Related context

This appears related to prior requests/regressions around making remaining usage visible in the Codex app UI, for example #19869. If the current behavior is intentional, please document where users should check the five-hour and weekly limits from inside the app.
