OpenAI Codex Linux compaction issue fixed with timeout adjustment

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit has shared a fix for an issue where OpenAI's Codex tool hangs during compaction tasks on Linux systems. The problem stems from an overly aggressive default TCP user timeout in the `reqwest` library, which causes connections to drop prematurely. The proposed solution involves increasing this timeout from 30 seconds to 120 seconds via a small code patch, which can then be applied and the tool rebuilt. AI
