What issue are you seeing?

After upgrading my account from Free to Plus (and waiting a few days), the codex cli's /status command still shows

Account: <email> (Free)

Similar to issue #5550.

Doing /logout and then logging back in correctly changed the label to "Plus".

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Use codex cli with a free account
  2. Upgrade your account to plus
  3. Check the /status command output inside codex cli

What is the expected behavior?

TL;DR

The issue with the Codex CLI showing an incorrect account type after upgrading from Free to Plus can likely be resolved by logging out and logging back in.

Guidance

  • The problem seems to be related to the account type not being updated in the Codex CLI after an upgrade.
  • To verify if the issue is resolved, run the /status command after logging out and logging back in to check if the account type is correctly displayed as "Plus".
  • If the issue persists, try checking the Codex CLI version and ensure it is up-to-date, as the issue might be related to a version-specific bug.
  • Refer to issue #5550 for potential similar solutions or workarounds.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it is not necessary for this specific issue.

Notes

Recommendation

FAIL-SAFE: Given the information provided, the suggested workaround of logging out and logging back in is a safe and minimal solution to try and resolve the issue.
