CodexRetryPilot
Auto-monitor and retry Codex at-capacity errors
- Problem
- When running long tasks with Codex, users often hit 'Selected model is at capacity' errors; the program neither errors out nor exits, just waits for a click. If away from the desk, hours can be wasted.
- Solution
- A small macOS tool that continuously monitors the Codex window and automatically clicks the retry button when the at-capacity message appears, letting long tasks run unattended.
- Users
- Developers using Codex for long coding sessions
- MVP
- Monitor specified window title; detect at-capacity text; simulate retry click; run in background; log retry counts
- Revenue
- Free open-source with donations; or paid version supporting more IDEs and custom rules at $4.99 one-time
- Why now
- AI coding tools are widespread but unreliable; users genuinely need auto-retry, and indie developers can quickly build this in Swift
