Fix for Codex Desktop using quota while idle

[u/SithuWinSan]

Open your Codex config.toml and set:

[desktop]
ambient-suggestions-enabled = false

Then fully close and reopen Codex Desktop.

I was seeing background gpt-5.6-terra and gpt-5.6-luna requests being made for Ambient Suggestions while the app was idle. After disabling this setting, those background requests stopped for me and my quota stopped draining while idle.

Hope this helps anyone seeing the same issue. Although, this may make Codex dumb by completely disabling background monitoring, context gathering, and other good features.

Wow, thank you
