codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix VS Code extension keeps switching from ChatGPT Plus auth to API key / Codex mode [3 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The VS Code Codex extension may need a configuration update or a reset to maintain the ChatGPT Plus subscription state and prevent it from switching to API-key/Codex auth.

Guidance

• Check the extension's settings to ensure that the ChatGPT Plus subscription is properly configured and selected as the default authentication method.
• Try resetting the extension's authentication cache or storage to see if it resolves the issue with the subscription state not being preserved.
• Verify that the ChatGPT Plus subscription is active and valid, as an expired or inactive subscription could cause authentication issues.
• If the issue persists, consider reinstalling the VS Code Codex extension to ensure that all settings and configurations are reset to their defaults.

Notes

The cause of the issue is unclear, but it may be related to a recent update or change in the extension or the ChatGPT Plus service. Further investigation or support from the extension developers may be necessary to fully resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try resetting the extension's authentication cache or storage, and verify that the ChatGPT Plus subscription is active and valid, as this may resolve the issue without requiring a full reinstall of the extension.
