codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex Desktop App uses credits from the original account even after switching to a different Plus account [1 comments, 2 participants]

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.429.61741 (2429)

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.8.0-110-generic x86_64 x86_64

What issue are you seeing?

I am currently connected to a remote SSH server(Linux 6.8.0-110-generic x86_64 x86_64) through Codex desktop app in macOS(Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm). I switched accounts after reaching usage limits in my first account. Even after switching the account, all requests are still attributed to the first account. Creating a new thread and starting a a conversation also atrributes the credits to the first account. But /status points to the latest account.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

(Connected to an ssh server through Codex Desktop)

1. Log in to Account A.
2. Start a chat thread and send a message. Usage is correctly billed to Account A.
3. Log out or switch to Account B.
4. Continue the conversation in the same thread from Step 2.
5. Observed Behavior: Usage for the new messages is still attributed to Account A. But /status shows account B status

What is the expected behavior?

Usage and telemetry should be attributed to the currently logged-in account (Account B).

Additional information

I have logged into Account B in codex desktop app, ssh server directly and codex cli as well. This issue doesn't occur if I use codex cli in the ssh server but happens when using Codex Desktop app connected to ssh server. Crating a new conversation in the local machine attributed the usage to Account B while all new and old conversations in the ssh project attributed it to account A.

I have already checked the issue #14730 but the solution in the thread did not help as this is specific to ssh connections through codex.
