Ask HN: Codex conversations failing to converge across devices?
Is anybody else seeing extremely annoying bug in last week or two where codex/chatgpt conversations fail to sync properly across devices? In my case ios and macos. Opening the same thread-id on different devices presents completely different subsets of conversation history. Often I'll see that one app at some point stopped rendering the user comments but does keep rendering a potentially partial subset of the agent responses - or vice versa, it will show agent responses but not the user message submissions ...
This has produced a lot of confusion for me and severely impacted my capacity to monitor progress on multiple work streams from multiple devices ... I've submitted support requests to openai that supposedly have been 'elevated to a human' but no idea yet if there's any progress ...
This kind of bug basically totally breaks all confidence in the codex app for me ... The experience previously felt pretty solid and predictable to me -- markedly better than the bugginess I experienced earlier this year with the claude harness -- but the experience is now basically completely broken ...
I've uninstalled the chatgpt app from my phone for the time being as the only viable workaround I can think of ...

I personally have not been experiencing this, and I use the same Codex account on three different machines. Hope you get this resolved soon.. Sounds annoying.
