Codex 429 Too Many Requests

Thanks for reporting this, @bobodawang. A 429 "Too Many Requests" error usually means you've hit a rate limit, either by sending too many requests in a short period or exceeding your current usage limits. (OpenAI Help Center) A few things worth trying: * Wait a short time and try again, since rate limits reset automatically. * If you're using the API or Codex programmatically, add exponential backoff so retries are spaced out instead of happening immediately. Repeated retries can actually extend the problem. (OpenAI Help Center) * Check your current rate limits and usage tier in your account settings. If you're consistently hitting the limit, you may need a higher usage tier. (OpenAI Help Center) If you're seeing this in the ChatGPT Codex experience rather than the API, let us know a bit more about where the error appears (web, desktop, CLI, etc.) and someone here can help narrow it down. -Mark G.
