About Codex
AIWatch Data: Codex's reported uptime is 99.37%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 8 incidents with an average recovery time of 3h 25m.
Codex is OpenAI's coding agent, using frontier OpenAI models to plan and execute multi-step code changes.
AIWatch Insight: AIWatch tracks Codex independently of ChatGPT and the OpenAI API, so an incident's impact scope is visible per surface.
When Codex is down, developers lose the coding agent — multi-step planning, file edits, and task execution all fail. The underlying OpenAI models may still be reachable via the API for other uses.
This page provides real-time status and recent incident details; uptime history is shown only when the official source publishes sufficient comparable records — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.
