What issue are you seeing?
The latest Codex VS Code extension stops loading older chat history when I scroll back.
The Codex desktop app works correctly with the same account and can see all older conversations, so the history is not missing. This issue only occurs in the VS Code extension.
Please check the chat history pagination/loading behavior in the latest extension.
Rolling back may fix the issue, but older extension versions may not support the latest models such as GPT-6.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open the Codex extension in VS Code.
- Open the chat history and scroll down to older conversations.
- The history stops loading at around last Sunday, and no older conversations appear.
- Open the Codex desktop app with the same account.
- Older conversations are available normally in the desktop app.
What is the expected behavior?

Research direction
First reproduce the issue in the VS Code extension by scrolling through chat history, then compare the results with the desktop app using the same account. Trace the extension's chat-history pagination or loading path; done means older conversations continue appearing beyond the current stopping point.
