What issue are you seeing?

The Codex VS Code extension does not persist my selected speed setting. I set the model to ChatGPT 5.5 with reasoning effort set to Low, and set the speed to Normal. Every time I close and reopen VS Code, the speed setting automatically resets back to Fast.

There is also a second related issue: if the Codex settings tab is already open in VS Code, I cannot even temporarily change the speed setting. When I switch it from Fast to Normal, it immediately changes back to Fast.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open VS Code with the Codex extension installed.
  2. Open Codex settings.
  3. Configure: Model: ChatGPT 5.5; Reasoning effort: Low; Speed: Normal
  4. Close and reopen VS Code.
  5. Open Codex settings again.

What is the expected behavior?

The speed setting should remain set to Normal after VS Code is reopened.

Also, while the Codex settings tab is open, changing the speed setting should apply immediately and remain selected unless I change it again.

Additional information

The speed setting resets to Fast every time VS Code is reopened.

Additionally, when the Codex settings tab is open, changing the speed setting from Fast to Normal immediately reverts back to Fast, so the setting cannot be changed even temporarily.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The Codex VS Code extension's speed setting reset issue may be resolved by checking the extension's configuration storage and updating mechanisms.

Guidance

  • Verify the extension's configuration file or storage to ensure the speed setting is being saved correctly.
  • Check for any extension updates that may address the issue, as the problem might be related to a version-specific bug.
  • Try resetting the extension's settings to their default values to see if the issue persists.
  • If the issue is still present, attempt to reproduce it with a minimal setup (e.g., only the Codex extension installed) to isolate the problem.

Example

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

Notes

The issue might be specific to the combination of the Codex extension version (26.5422.71525) and the VS Code version (1.117.0), so checking for updates or trying a different version could be helpful.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try resetting the extension's settings or checking for updates, as the issue seems related to the extension's behavior rather than a fundamental problem with VS Code.
