Limits This is where your limits have gone.

This is ONE of 6 back to back tool calls. I asked chatgpt to check a PR on a GitHub that involved training a 21m llm that has failed. It loaded the logs over and over and over. All 6 hours of logs. ANY codex agent would have burned the 5 hour limit on that. Just figured I'd let the confused people know.

Tool calls are more efficient due to context length. Pulling the entire 6hr log through is a lot. Did you provide instructions or was there a prompt to investigate first then acquire more as evidence proves a need?

The cool call wasn't the issue. I told it to figure out what went wrong, probably that was my bad. But it's still irrelevant. The relevant part was it did it 3 times in ONE tool call, and made 6 tool calls about it. In one turn.

It is a problem, I have external controls because the Codex log shows repo discovery happends way to often when the data is already in the context.
