Codex has been pretty hesitant sometimes. I think maybe the companies have made them more careful due to recent events?

I think it happens when they are experiencing too much traffic. It truncates the work and checks whether you need rest.

Dropped them for Kimi K3. It has a limit of 100 actions which you can change if you want. I don't see me going back to Opus or Fable anytime soon. They would have to slash prices and not lobotomize them or me to go back. I don't do long term subscriptions, max is 1 month so i can move around as thin...

Yup, but seems to work decently with dynamic workflow.
