Description

What version of the Codex App are you using?

Windows installed package OpenAI.Codex: 26.908.4834.0 (read from Get-AppxPackage; About dialog version not independently checked).

What subscription do you have?

Not collected for this report.

What platform is your computer?

Windows x64; OS version string: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0.
Japanese UI; Windows timezone: Tokyo Standard Time (UTC+09:00).
Observed on September 14, 2026.

What issue are you seeing?

After creating an active daily automation for 10:00 Japan time, the user reports that the schedule is displayed as “毎週10時” (“weekly at 10:00”), despite the persisted automation configuration specifying a daily recurrence at 10:00, with minute and second both zero.

The saved configuration was read back after creation and again after the user reported the discrepancy. Both reads showed daily recurrence. The automation remained active, with local execution and the requested model/reasoning configuration.

Evidence boundaries: the weekly label is reported by the user. The reporting assistant independently verified the persisted configuration but did not capture or inspect the UI label. The exact affected UI surface (inline automation card versus settings detail) has not been isolated. No actual scheduled firing has yet been observed, so this report does not establish an execution-frequency bug or its root cause.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Reported sequence, not yet independently reproduced on a clean installation:

  1. In the Windows app, ask Codex to create a local automation that runs every day at 10:00 Japan time.
  2. Create it through the app automation tool with daily recurrence, hour 10, minute 0, second 0, and active status.
  3. Read back the saved automation configuration and verify daily recurrence.
  4. Inspect the Japanese schedule label shown by the app. The user reports “毎週10時” instead of a daily label.
  5. Re-read the configuration: it still specifies daily recurrence. No manual schedule-file modification was made.

What is the expected behavior?

The schedule label should accurately describe the saved recurrence as daily at 10:00 (e.g. “毎日10時”). The label, saved recurrence, and scheduler should agree.

Additional information

Existing issue #26633 concerns timezone/next-execution disagreement for a weekly schedule. This report concerns daily-versus-weekly Japanese wording; whether the underlying cause is related is unknown.

No full automation prompt, business/project names, account identifiers, local user paths, session transcript, credentials, or screenshots are attached. This report is submitted with the user's explicit authorization.

Research direction

Start at the Windows app automation UI and locate the Japanese schedule-label formatting, searching for the reported “毎週10時” wording or its label entry point. Compare the displayed label with the persisted daily recurrence from the automation tool, then verify that a daily schedule is shown as daily without changing the saved configuration.
