Paid €200 for Codex and can't use it: all five models refuse legitimate security triage
ClassicMain · reddit · 2026-09-13
A Reddit user doing security triage across large repos found that every Codex model (Astra, Fable, Sol, Terra, Luna) refused the work — even trivially wrong bug reports triggered session blocks — while Claude models happily handle triage and GHSA validation.
- OpenAI's unblock path requires submitting government IDs to a third-party (Persona) via a "daybreak" program, which the user refused
- Their open-source program application went unanswered despite meeting all requirements
- They paid over €200 and are asking for a refund
The post highlights over-blocking of legitimate security research workflows on OpenAI's coding platform.
