codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex Update Error [1 participants]

Trying to update to latest version. I removed proxy from my env and also from config.toml but still same error. 2026-04-21T19:43:13.687266Z ERROR codex_tui::updates: Failed to update version: error sending request for url (https://api.github.com/repos/openai/codex/releases/latest)

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to a network or configuration problem preventing the Codex App from updating to the latest version, and checking the network connection or GitHub API availability may help resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Verify that the GitHub API is accessible by checking the status of https://api.github.com/repos/openai/codex/releases/latest in a web browser or using a tool like curl.
• Check the system's network configuration and ensure that it allows outgoing requests to GitHub.
• Review the config.toml file to ensure that all proxy settings have been properly removed.
• Consider checking the system's firewall or security software settings to ensure they are not blocking the request.

Notes

The issue may be related to a temporary GitHub API outage or a specific network configuration issue, and further troubleshooting may be needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the GitHub API status and network configuration to identify and resolve any potential issues blocking the update request.
