TL;DR

The "Fast mode" disappearance from settings and chat may be related to the configuration settings, and verifying the fast_mode feature flag in the config file could be a starting point.

Guidance

  • Check the fast_mode feature flag in the provided config file to ensure it is set to true and has not been overridden by any other configuration settings.
  • Review the Codex App version and subscription to see if there are any known issues or limitations related to the "Fast mode" feature in Version 26.417.41555 (1858) for Business subscribers.
  • Investigate if there are any recent changes to the configuration file or the Codex App that could have caused the "Fast mode" to disappear from settings and chat.
  • Verify if the issue persists across different platforms or if it is specific to Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm.

Notes

The provided information does not include any error messages or specific details about the disappearance of the "Fast mode". Further investigation into the configuration settings and the Codex App's behavior is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue is related to a specific feature, trying to reset the configuration settings to their default values or checking for any overrides in the config file might help resolve the issue.
