Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

What subscription do you have?
ChatGPT Pro
What platform is your computer?
Linux 7.0.0-31-generic x86_64 x86_64
What issue are you seeing?
Over the last couple of days, Codex has been noticeably slower than usual for me.
This does not seem limited to a specific repository or a particularly complex task. In general, normal tasks are taking significantly longer to complete than they did before, with more time spent thinking or processing.
At the same time, I also have the impression that my usage/tokens are being consumed faster than usual, even though my workflow has not changed significantly.
I'm on ChatGPT Pro, and the overall experience currently feels noticeably degraded compared with my normal usage.
I understand that performance can vary depending on task complexity and system load, but the slowdown has been consistent enough to affect my productivity.
It would be helpful if the team could check whether there are any current performance issues, capacity constraints, or changes affecting Codex latency and usage consumption.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Just general use.

Research direction
The report names no repository file, test, or reliably reproducible task. Start by checking current Codex performance and usage behavior on the reported Linux environment, then compare it with the normal baseline across general tasks. Done means identifying a reproducible cause or confirming a documented service-side performance issue.
