'The model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account' after a model retirement

The 'gpt-5.6-sol' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account.

Verified 2026-10-15 · Confirmed by 0 builders · Trust 50/100

Cause

Codex with ChatGPT sign-in serves only the models the plan currently includes, and retires models on fixed dates: gpt-5.4 and gpt-5.4-mini on 2026-08-31, gpt-5.3-codex-spark on 2026-09-14, and gpt-5.5 on 2026-10-14. API-key sessions follow the API model catalog instead.

Fix

Replace retired model ids in config.toml, profiles, custom agents, scheduled tasks, and scripts with a model available to your plan, and check that the subscription is active.

Apply

# ~/.codex/config.toml
model = "gpt-6.1-sol"

Affects: Codex with ChatGPT sign-in, retirements 2026-08-31, 2026-09-14, and 2026-10-14
