Codex (ChatGPT account) lists `*-pro` models it can't serve — `gpt-5.5-pro` shown then rejected by backend

[devinoldenburg]

Description

On a ChatGPT (Plus/Pro) OAuth account, gpt-5.5-pro is offered as a selectable model but every request to it fails:

Bad Request: {"detail":"The 'gpt-5.5-pro' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account."}

This is the precise root-cause write-up for #26115 (which was a user report with most fields left blank).

Root cause — packages/opencode/src/plugin/openai/codex.ts, the OAuth models() filter:

.filter(([, model]) => {
  if (ALLOWED_MODELS.has(model.api.id)) return true
  const match = model.api.id.match(/^gpt-(\d+\.\d+)/)
  return match ? parseFloat(match[1]) > 5.4 : false
})

For a ChatGPT account this keeps an explicit allowlist plus a fallback that allows any gpt-<version> newer than 5.4. gpt-5.5-pro matches the fallback (5.5 > 5.4) and is therefore listed — but the Codex backend (chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses) only serves -pro models to API-key auth, never to ChatGPT accounts. So the model is shown and then rejected at request time.

This applies to the whole -pro family (gpt-5.5-pro, gpt-5.4-pro, …). #19366 documented the same behavior for gpt-5.4-pro, with a reproduction confirming the backend rejects it even after patching the local allowlist.

Secondary precision bug in the same heuristic: parseFloat("5.10") is 5.1, so a future gpt-5.10 would be wrongly excluded by the > 5.4 check (dotted-version strings shouldn't be compared as floats).

Expected: -pro models that a ChatGPT account can't use should not appear as selectable for that auth type — matching the expected behavior described in #26115.

A fix is up in #32276.

Plugins

Built-in OpenAI / Codex auth (ChatGPT OAuth login).

OpenCode version

Reproduced against current dev; originally reported on the latest release in #26115.

Steps to reproduce

1. Authenticate OpenAI with a ChatGPT Plus/Pro account (OAuth), not an API key.
2. Select model gpt-5.5-pro.
3. Send any message.
4. Request fails with The 'gpt-5.5-pro' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account.

Operating System

Windows 11 (per #26115); not OS-specific — the filtering logic is platform-independent.

I have been on the 200$ plan and weren't able to.

here are the supported Codex Models: https://developers.openai.com/codex/models

GPT 5.5 Pro is ChatGPT and API only. For Codex you can only use GPT 5.5 Pro per API, not per Subscription.

This is exactly what the error message is telling when trying to use it through the Subscription
