Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached openai-support-log-2026-07-30-2128-PDT.txt and the Codex VS Code Output log around the reported remote compaction disconnect and fs/readDirectory errors. Reproduce the sequence involving glaplace.tex, usage_limit_exceeded, and the usage balance; done means the failure no longer deletes the file or causes incorrect usage and credit deductions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug connectivity context extension rate-limits

What happened?

I was using the Codex VS Code extension with GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra to work on a mathematical LaTeX project.

After Codex had been reasoning for several minutes, VS Code became unresponsive. I quit and reopened VS Code. After reopening it:

My glaplace.tex file is deleted.
The request failed with usage_limit_exceeded.
My remaining usage unexpectedly drop from 70% to 0% in miliseconds.
My 100$ student credits suddenly dropped to 49$

The VS Code Codex Output log shows that the remote context-compaction stream disconnected. At approximately the same time, filesystem directory reads failed with No such file or directory.
