## Context The CLI rate-limit surfaces previously described usage windows as fixed 5-hour and weekly limits. We want the CLI to display whatever supported rate-limit period the server returns instead of assuming a 5-hour/1-week pair. This supports generalized Codex rate-limit periods. ## Summary - Formats CLI rate-limit warning/status labels only for the supported returned window durations: approximate 5h, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual. - Uses generic fallback copy when a primary or secondary window has no duration, so missing secondary protection data does not produce stale weekly copy. - Uses generic fallback copy for unsupported window durations instead of adding arbitrary hourly, multi-day, multi-week, or multi-year labels. - Updates status line and terminal title setup descriptions/previews to talk about primary/secondary usage limits rather than fixed 5h/weekly limits. - Adds rendered insta snapshot coverage for the updated rate-limit status surfaces and `/status` fallback labels. ## Tests Tested locally: - one primary window - one secondary window - primary and secondary window
npm i -g @openai/codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
