codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Permissions prompt causes high energy use and causes battery drain during sleep on MacOS [3 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can likely be mitigated by finding a way to pause or stop terminal rendering animations when the Mac is put to sleep.

Guidance

• Investigate if there's an option in codex-cli to disable animations or set a timeout for idle sessions to prevent continuous rendering.
• Check if there are any configuration settings or environment variables that can be adjusted to control the behavior of codex-cli when the system is asleep.
• Consider filing an issue with the codex-cli developers to report the battery drain problem and request a fix or workaround.
• Look into system settings or third-party tools that can help manage or limit background process activity when the Mac is in sleep mode.

Example

No specific code example is provided as the issue seems related to the behavior of the codex-cli tool itself rather than user-written code.

Notes

The solution might depend on the specific implementation details of codex-cli and its handling of system sleep events. Further investigation into the tool's documentation or source code may be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the information, it seems more feasible to look for a workaround, such as disabling animations or using system settings to manage background activity, rather than waiting for an upgrade to a potentially fixed version of codex-cli.
