Automatically retry when an OpenAI model is at capacity #8570

Closed as not planned

Description

@NickMaev

Area

Provider adapters

What are you trying to accomplish?

I want Codex Desktop and Codex CLI to automatically retry requests when the OpenAI model is at capacity, instead of having to click Retry manually.

What prevents this today?

Every time the model is at capacity, Codex stops processing my request, and I have to retry it manually.

What should OpenCodex do?

When the OpenAI model is at capacity, Codex should automatically retry the request with a short delay and jitter until the model becomes available, without interrupting the task.
