codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex CLI hangs (sometimes taken over 5-6 minutes thinking) and there are no feedback [6 comments, 4 participants]

TL;DR

• Investigate the Codex CLI's handling of large or complex inputs to identify potential causes for the hanging issue.

Guidance

• Review the uploaded thread 019d7150-3974-75c2-ba52-f9deb790aa02 for any patterns or anomalies that could be contributing to the hanging issue.
• Check if the gpt-5.4 high model is resource-intensive and if the local machine's specifications (Darwin 25.4.0 arm64 arm) are sufficient to handle the model's requirements.
• Consider testing with a smaller or less complex input to see if the issue persists, which could help determine if the problem is input-related.
• Look into any known issues or limitations with Codex CLI version v0.118.0 that might be relevant to this problem.

Notes

• The issue might be specific to the combination of the gpt-5.4 high model and the local machine's specifications.
• Without more information about the input or the expected behavior, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

• Apply workaround: Test with a smaller input or a less resource-intensive model to see if the issue persists, as this can help identify the root cause of the problem.
