OpenAI Codex Blamed for Eating 500GB of Storage in Just Days
HankYeomans · x · 2026-08-03
A developer recently reported on X that OpenAI's Codex is consuming a massive 400-500GB of local storage within just a few days of routine use, such as prompting and building projects.
This abnormal storage bloat forces developers to manually clean up the space frequently, severely disrupting normal development workflows. The user directly tagged the official account, urging them to fix this storage leak issue.
