What issue are you seeing?

The 'Rate limits remaining' widget underneath the chat box is too small to read the full date/time. There seems to be no way to resize it. I'm using the default appearance settings and font size. I know I can view the rate limits in the other screen, but this used to be legible a couple weeks? ago and now I think the widget got smaller somehow, cutting off the right side of the text.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Click the 'work locally' button on the bottom of the chat window.

What is the expected behavior?

The widget is sized appropriately so you can view the entire text of the rate limit dialog.

TL;DR

Adjusting the font size or widget size in the Codex App settings may resolve the issue with the 'Rate limits remaining' widget being too small to read.

Guidance

  • Check if there are any settings in the Codex App to adjust the font size or widget size, which could help make the text in the 'Rate limits remaining' widget more readable.
  • Verify if the issue persists when using a different appearance setting or font size to isolate the cause.
  • Consider providing feedback to the Codex App developers about the issue, as it may be a regression introduced in a recent update.
  • Try to reproduce the issue on a different platform or version of the Codex App to determine if it's specific to the current setup.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to a recent change in the Codex App, as the user mentions it used to be legible a couple of weeks ago. Without more information about the app's settings or update history, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the font size or widget size in the Codex App settings, if possible, to mitigate the issue until a potential fix is released.
