extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to the model's safety checks flagging the conversation as a potential cybersecurity risk, and joining the Trusted Access for Cyber program may resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • The error message suggests that the conversation has been flagged for possible cybersecurity risk, which is causing the delay in responses.
  • To resolve this, joining the Trusted Access for Cyber program (https://chatgpt.com/cyber) may be necessary to get authorized for security work.
  • Rephrasing the request may also help to avoid triggering the safety checks.
  • Reviewing the uploaded thread (019ddfd9-99b7-7391-b9f7-ecb14d27830f) may provide more context about what triggered the safety checks.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the model's safety checks and not a technical issue with the Codex CLI or the platform.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Join the Trusted Access for Cyber program to get authorized for security work, as the error message suggests that this may resolve the issue.
