Codex floods updates in bulk browser tasks, users suspect token waste
WatchOk1240 · reddit · 2026-10-14
A Reddit user running 1000-item batch browser automation says Codex reports progress after every single edit, which would take 2-3 days to finish; prompting it to stop doesn't help. Coding tasks are fine — the issue is specific to bulk browser operations. The poster is unsure whether this is acceptable behavior or a prompting problem.
