codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix The UI that shows usage / limits is inconsistently not working from time to time [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue with the "Rate limits remaining" menu not always being shown in the VS Code Codex extension may be related to a UI rendering issue, and checking the extension's settings or updating to a newer version might resolve the problem.

Guidance

• Verify that the issue persists across different VS Code windows and sessions to rule out any temporary or session-specific causes.
• Check the VS Code console or output panel for any error messages related to the Codex extension that might indicate a JavaScript or rendering issue.
• Try resetting the Codex extension settings to their default values or disabling and re-enabling the extension to see if it resolves the issue.
• If the issue is intermittent, try to reproduce it with a consistent set of steps or conditions to help identify a pattern or trigger.
