Error message: "Failed to refresh token: error sending request for url (https://auth.openai.com/oauth/token)" 5. It crashes immediately with error (code=3221225477, signal=null)

TL;DR

The Codex extension crash may be related to a native crash or dependency issue, and checking the extension's compatibility with the current VS Code version and dependencies could provide a workaround.

Guidance

• Verify that the VS Code version is compatible with the latest Codex extension, as compatibility issues might cause the crash.
• Check the system's dependencies and libraries required by the Codex extension to ensure they are up-to-date and properly installed.
• Investigate the "Failed to refresh token" error, which might indicate an issue with authentication or network connectivity, despite the problem occurring with VPN on and off.
• Consider testing the extension on a different system or environment to isolate if the issue is system-specific.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems related to a native crash or dependency problem rather than a code-specific error.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the uncertainty around the exact cause, applying a workaround such as checking for compatibility issues, updating dependencies, or testing on a different environment might be the most practical next step. This approach allows for troubleshooting without waiting for a potential fix from the developers.
