TL;DR

The issue is likely related to the Codex App's session limit being reached unexpectedly, and the error message suggests an invalid request error due to an empty base64-encoded image URL.

Guidance

  • The error message indicates an issue with the image_url parameter in the request, which is expected to be a base64-encoded data URL with an image MIME type.
  • The provided Xcode error message suggests a deprecated API usage, but it may not be directly related to the session limit issue.
  • To mitigate the issue, verify that the image_url parameter is correctly formatted and not empty before sending the request.
  • Check the uploaded thread 019da813-8bbb-7d92-98d2-ace724888b6a for any clues about the invalid request.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue lacks specific code context.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the Codex App's API request formatting, but the exact cause is unclear. The provided images do not seem to be relevant to the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Verify and correct the image_url parameter formatting to ensure it meets the expected base64-encoded data URL with an image MIME type. This may resolve the invalid request error and prevent the session limit from being reached unexpectedly.
