What issue are you seeing?

  Codex just got an upgrade. Introducing gpt-5.3-codex.

  Codex is now powered by gpt-5.3-codex, our most capable agentic coding model yet. It's built for long-running, project-scale work, with mid-turn steering + frequent progress updates so you can collaborate while it runs (and it's faster too).

  You can keep using gpt-5.2 if you prefer.

  1. Try new model
› 2. Use existing model

Seemingly 1/4 times or something I open codex, I see the above message and have to select "No, I still want to keep using the same model I've already said I want to use".

I think maybe this was supposed to only show once per user, but instead it seems to reappear. Seems to happen both when using codex in directories where you've used it before, and new directories.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Open codex with gpt-5.2 set as your current model multiple times either in the same or different directories.

What is the expected behavior?

The message is presented once (or less times than currently at least) per user.
