What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019e6ab5-ca8e-7a61-aef0-a14db8e8483d

What is the expected behavior?

This has been working for weeks. Then the 429 errors kept happening, a few at first. Then it got to the point where I can't do anything.

Additional information

I tried upgrading. Logging out and back in of Codex (reauth worked fine).
