Codex App: Cannot resume session after API key switch - "encrypted content organization_id mismatch"

OpenAI Developer Community February 22, 2026

It is safe to say: No continuation, unless you go into the local .codex conversation storage and clean up the individual assistant responses and remove reasoning items of output. Then the next modality to fail will be tool calling that happened within reasoning on a hosted product.

I haven’t gone so far in consuming OpenAI’s presentation to even care if ChatGPT is a different base format of storage (but did go into the .rs to see what they are up to over the wire..) Then no Mac to even see if all the closed-source app local data isn’t simply made impenetrable.

The encrypted reasoning that prevents you from seeing the true model internal generation is likely org-specific so that one breach of the algorithm isn’t company-wide revelation, or we can see it has layers of metadata that can be extracted from a container in a first layer of common encryption or obfuscation instead of merely failing.

You can see I posited this earlier as the likely implementation, which your error answers:

How to use reasoning.encrypted_content with store=False (stateless)

Now: is encrypted reasoning salted or a certificate per organization; can I share my response content and another org can replay it?
