Thread ID: 01a0aae8-5907-72c3-b35e-146eff26d6fa

Codex CLI version: 0.154.0
Login method: ChatGPT
Error received:

HTTP 400 invalid_request_error:
"The 'gpt-5.3-codex-spark' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account."

The ChatGPT usage page shows available GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark 5-hour and weekly quotas, but the model does not appear in the model selector.
What issue are you seeing?

My ChatGPT Pro account shows separate GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark 5-hour and weekly usage quotas, but the model does not appear in the Codex model selector.

When I manually start Codex with:

codex -m gpt-5.3-codex-spark

the CLI accepts the model name. However, sending any prompt fails with:

HTTP 400 invalid_request_error
"The 'gpt-5.3-codex-spark' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account."

Codex login status reports:
Logged in using ChatGPT

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 01a0aae8-5907-72c3-b35e-146eff26d6fa

What is the expected behavior?

GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark should appear in the Codex model selector and should accept requests through my ChatGPT Pro account, because separate Spark 5-hour and weekly usage quotas are visible on the account usage page.

Additional information

Codex CLI version: 0.154.0
Subscription: ChatGPT Pro

"Model metadata for 'gpt-5.3-codex-spark' not found. Defaulting to fallback metadata."

Done means GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark is offered in the selector and accepts requests for a ChatGPT Pro account with the displayed quotas.
