#Who is affected

Codex users on web, desktop, and mobile who want longer-running cloud tasks without rebuilding the environment each time.

#What to do now

Create or pick a reusable cloud environment for a project, then start cloud tasks from that setup so agents can continue while your machine sleeps.

#What is not confirmed

Exact plan eligibility, pricing, and whether every task shares one synchronized workspace are not spelled out in the X announcement. Community reports say each task still gets an isolated workspace.
