codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix High CPU usage in VS Code when opening Codex panel in a non-Git workspace [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

Disabling the Codex extension when working with non-Git repositories in VS Code may be a necessary workaround to prevent high CPU usage.

Guidance

• Verify that the issue is specific to non-Git repositories by testing the Codex extension in a Git repository to see if CPU usage remains normal.
• Try disabling and re-enabling the Codex extension in a non-Git repository to confirm the extension is the cause of the high CPU usage.
• If the issue persists, consider reporting the problem to the Codex extension developers, providing detailed steps to reproduce and system specifications.
• Check for any updates to the Codex extension or VS Code that may address the issue.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems related to the extension's behavior rather than a specific code implementation.

Notes

The exact cause of the high CPU usage is not specified, but it's clear that the Codex extension is involved, particularly when used in non-Git repositories. Further investigation by the extension developers may be necessary to resolve the issue fully.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Disable the Codex extension when working with non-Git repositories in VS Code. This is because the extension currently causes high CPU usage in such scenarios, and disabling it mitigates the issue.
