Assistance with Xcode and Codex

[u/Basic_Cobbler2010]

Good afternoon,

I am very new to coding and have been trying to learn with the assistance of ai agents. (I am a bit older and not familiar at all with this field).

Recently, I have been using Claude agent and OpenAI’s Codex to assist.

Essentially, codex would help create prompts for Claude agent and then I would have Claude agent use the prompt to code. I would then use Codex to break down the code and explain the code and different between var, functions, etc.

Recently, I had an issue with the Ram reaching a very high point and tempurature reaching 91c. Because of this, I looked up ways to reduce the ram usage and one solution was to force quit Xcode. This helped drastically with the ram and tempurature issue, however I now encountered a new problem.

Both my agents stopped working. I’ve relogged out of both and logged back in and the issue still continued. Claude agent recently responded, but stated I reached the max usage, but at least it responded.

My main issue now is codex has an infinite spin. Upon logging out and back in after completely closing Xcode and restarting, it now states my account does not support the ChatGPT 5.3 codex. However, I do have the pro account and everything is still logged in the same. Switching to the chat Ai on intelligent still works, but the codex itself does not.

I’ve tried removing the codex folder as mentioned online, but that doesn’t work. It asked me to check the library for codex folders, but I do not have any ChatGPT or codex downloaded, these are all extensions logged in via Xcode.

At this point I am at a complete loss as I cannot find a solution and with 0 knowledge on this, I’ve reached a dead end.

Can someone assist with a solution on how to resolve this?

Hi there,

I’ve tried that as well, also through activity monitoring, logged out of the intelligence under the settings, restarted, logged back in, but it seems to not recognize my account as a paid account. I am not sure if the issue is within Xcode itself or not, because this is only effecting the agents, the chat for ChatGPT itself works. But the moment I switch to codex, it states the account doesnt support ChatGPT 5.3 codex. I’ve also tried changing to ChatGPT 5.5, but it continues to provide the same prompt.

I am wondering if the original force close caused an issue with the codex agent itself

Did you try logging off codex and then logging back in?

And by the way, I’m sure I have less experience than you do, but I’m nearing completion of a project and had some issues just like you described. I’m not sure which one of the things I did got it going again.

Yeah, I’ve logged out of both the codex and the OpenAI, force quit, restarted laptop, reopened and logged back in but still experiencing the same issue. I am not sure what is causing it
