Codex user says OpenAI closed account after local reverse-engineering work

OpenAI Codex user @log4j said OpenAI closed their account after the user did local reverse-engineering work with the coding tool, according to a four-post thread on X posted October 23rd.

The closure and its stated reason rest on the user's account, and the article notes Daybreak permits approved reverse engineering in authorized environments.
