Codex Quota Exceeded / using API_KEY instead of Codex

[igor9silva]

What happened

When running pnpm deepsec process --project-id meseeks with --agent codex, I keep getting this error:

Codex stream error: Quota exceeded. Check your plan and billing details.
    Codex turn failed: Quota exceeded. Check your plan and billing details.
    Codex SDK error: Codex Exec exited with code 1: Reading prompt from stdin...

Even though I have plenty of quota (it literally just reseted):

Reproduction

pnpm deepsec process --project-id meseeks --agent codex

@igor9silva I believe the codex error is directly from the codex CLI not deepsec. The screenshot you shared from the codex app might not have the exact same auth profile.

Jump into a codex CLI session and run /status to see the quota of the codex instance deepsec is running on.

Additionally you can re auth running codex login and re-attempt to see if that correctly syncs the auth profiles.

@aaronvanston confirmed. The requests went through my API_KEY somehow, and burned everything I had .-.

codex CLI is signed in. I use it all day everyday.

[igor9silva]

I had an OPENAI_API_KEY set on ENV which deepsec used. After removing it, it worked just fine using my Codex subscription.

Codex CLI or app never use OPENAI_API_KEY so IMO this is a bug.
