Codex 429 Auto Continue
A Codex Desktop plugin that continues a task after Codex exhausts its built-in retries with HTTP 429.
Features
- Detects only structured
response_too_many_failed_attemptsfailures with HTTP status 429. - Waits exactly 3 seconds for every continuation attempt, with at most four plugin-initiated attempts in one failure chain.
- Uses a native retry or continue tool when Codex exposes one; otherwise sends only
继续to the original task. - Covers new and reopened tasks through
SessionStartand backfills all currently loaded tasks throughUserPromptSubmit. - Cancels its pending continuation when Codex or the user has already started another turn.
- Uses one watcher per task to avoid duplicate continuations.
Requirements
- Codex Desktop on Windows.
- Node.js available as
nodeonPATH.
The plugin currently depends on Codex Desktop's internal local task-tool pipe. That interface is not a stable public API and may require compatibility updates after a Codex release.
Install
codex plugin marketplace add https://git.crash.work/cneicy/codex-429-auto-continue.git
codex plugin add codex-429-auto-continue@codex-429-auto-continue
Start or reopen a task after installation. If Codex asks you to review the hook, approve it from /hooks.
Behavior
The watcher reads new records from the task transcript. After a structured 429 task failure, it waits 3 seconds and checks whether a new turn has already started. If not, it attempts native continuation and falls back to sending 继续.
A successful task completion resets the failure chain. The chain also resets after 15 minutes without a plugin-initiated continuation. A watcher exits when its task ends or after 24 hours without transcript activity.
Prompt text, assistant text, and tool output that merely contain 429 do not trigger the plugin.
Local Data
Per-task JSONL event logs and lock files are stored under:
%USERPROFILE%\.codex\plugin-data\codex-429-auto-continue
The plugin does not make its own network requests. It reads local Codex transcripts and communicates with the local Codex Desktop task pipe.
Development
npm test
The installable plugin is under plugins/codex-429-auto-continue. The marketplace manifest is .agents/plugins/marketplace.json.
