codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex sometimes fails during automatic context compaction with "stream disconnected before completion" [1 comments, 2 participants]

Codex intermittently fails during automatic context compaction with this error: Error running remote compact task: stream disconnected before completion: error sending request for url (https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses/compact) Error running remote compact task: stream disconnected before completion: error sending request for url (https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses/compact)

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by improving the stability of the network connection or adjusting the timeout settings for the remote compact task.

Guidance

• Verify the network connection stability during long sessions to ensure it's not causing the stream disconnection.
• Check if there are any firewall or proxy settings that might be interrupting the request to https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses/compact.
• Consider testing the Codex App in a different network environment to isolate the issue.
• If the issue persists, try to reproduce it with a shorter session to gather more information about the failure.

Notes

The intermittent nature of the issue makes it challenging to provide a definitive fix. Further investigation into the network environment and the Codex App's configuration may be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the network settings or timeout configurations to improve the stability of the remote compact task, as the root cause seems to be related to network connectivity rather than a specific version issue.
