Peter Dedene(@dedene):If you're wondering why GPT-5.6 Sol with subagents in the Codex CLI burns through your usage so fast, there seems to be a bug. 👀 It can't spawn smaller subagents for basic exploration or web research and forces Sol for everything. Which is annoying because as with Fable, I'd love the Advisor / Executor workflow. Anyone else seeing this too? Workaround for now: add this to your ~/.codex/config.toml: [features.multi_agent_v2] hide_spawn_agent_metadata = false tool
