What issue are you seeing?
Image While using Work & Codex on the desktop App on my Mac , I am getting this Reconnection Issue. The message:-- "Reconnecting... 1/5"
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Image I'm experiencing the same issue.

Environment:

  • macOS
  • Apple Silicon Mac
  • ChatGPT Plus subscription
  • Codex Desktop version: 26.911.61220
  • Codex Desktop and Codex CLI/terminal are both affected

Symptoms:

  • Codex shows: "Reconnecting... waiting for network"
  • Requests eventually fail to connect/send
  • Normal internet access works correctly
  • ChatGPT works normally in the browser
  • I tested different networks / Wi-Fi and the problem persists

This appears to affect both the local Codex desktop app and the terminal version, while the web version continues to work.

Please let me know if there are any logs, diagnostics, or additional information I can provide.

What is the expected behavior?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in Codex Desktop and Codex CLI/terminal on macOS with version 26.911.61220, then collect the logs or diagnostics requested in the report. Done means requests connect and send normally without the repeated “Reconnecting...” state across the affected local clients.
