What issue are you seeing?

Codex 5.5 Medium despite AGENTS.md, developer instructions, and prompting seems to get stuck in loops while in goal mode that cause it to seek verbal confirmation before it acts. This has happened a few times. This time, it got stuck doing it all night and burned through 25% of my weekly Pro usage limits asking for "explicit billing confirmation". Not acceptable.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: 019e28dd-7992-7892-a1ce-0e82108da4d6

What is the expected behavior?

Stop seeking verbal confirmation after a user requests an action, especially if permissions are set. Especially don't seek it out when in /goal and get stuck on a loop all night asking for confirmation via chat.
