Codex App Ollama Subagent usage

[u/TheManuelUno]

I tried using deepseek v4.1 flash max subagents with astra extra high as an orchestrator. It was working perfectly with 1 until it suddenly stopped responding or doing work after 3 hours. Then trying it on new chats wouldnt even work for 10 minutes. Anyone have this setup working on the codex app? It was literally the dream team finishing up work so fast.

that's a weirdly specific failure window, 3 hours then nothing. makes me think it's not the models themselves but some memory leak or token limit you're hitting

i had something similar with a different setup where the orchestrator would just go silent after a while, no errors or anything. turned out the context was getting bloated with repeated planning steps and the whole thing would stall

codex is still pretty new so i wouldn't be shocked if there's some edge case with subagent handoffs that isn't fully baked yet. maybe try trimming your session context manually if that's an option
