At that point, the following error can appear:</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;"><code class="language-text" data-lang="text"><span style="display:flex;"><span>Error running remote compact task: {&#34;detail&#34;:&#34;Bad Request&#34;} </span></span></code></pre></div><p>This indicates that Codex’s context‑compression process did not complete successfully.</p> <p>However, <code>{&quot;detail&quot;:&quot;Bad Request&quot;}</code> is not a specific cause name. From just this display alone, you cannot tell whether the context was too large, there were too many images, the history entries were invalid, or it was a temporary server‑side issue.</p>
