codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex terminal flickered and wasted 7% 5h limit without using it. [3 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The issue may be related to the /clear command causing unexpected behavior with the Codex CLI, potentially leading to rapid consumption of the 5-hour limit.

Guidance

• Investigate the implementation of the /clear command in the Codex CLI to understand its expected behavior and potential side effects.
• Review the uploaded thread (019dc3bf-069f-70d0-b853-9fe0c88d54c3) for more detailed information on the bug reproduction steps.
• Test the /clear command with different models and prompts to see if the issue is specific to the gpt-5.5 model or a more general problem.
• Consider reaching out to the Codex CLI support team for further assistance, as the issue may be related to a bug in the CLI itself.

Notes

The provided information is limited, and without more details on the Codex CLI's internal workings or the uploaded thread's contents, it's challenging to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Avoid using the /clear command until the issue is resolved, or test alternative methods to clear the terminal that do not involve the Codex CLI's command.
