What issue are you seeing?

Hello, my context is always almost full, and when it compacts it goes to 225/258k so it does that pretty often. How do I reset it to zero? Thanks

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by addressing the "Transport error: network error: error decoding response body" and investigating context compaction settings.

Guidance

  • Investigate the cause of the "Transport error: network error: error decoding response body" to prevent stream disconnections, which might be related to network stability or server-side issues.
  • Check if there are any settings or options in the Codex App to manually compact the context or adjust its size limits, as the current compaction to 225/258k might be a default behavior.
  • Look into the Codex App documentation or support resources for information on context management and compaction, as the expected behavior of compacting to zero is unclear.
  • Consider reaching out to Codex App support for further assistance, given the lack of information on reproducing the bug and the specific error messages encountered.

Notes

The provided information lacks details on the specific actions taken before the issue occurred, and the Codex App's internal workings are not well-documented in the issue. Therefore, these suggestions are based on general troubleshooting principles and may need to be adapted based on further investigation.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the unclear nature of the issue and the potential for it being related to network or server-side problems, applying a workaround such as checking network stability, adjusting app settings if available, or seeking support seems prudent.
