Issue with several chatgpt.com processes eating memory

[otmanm]

Hey @steipete, reporting a weird CodexBar issue I ran into.

I noticed several https://chatgpt.com processes in Activity Monitor under codexBar Web Content, using a lot of memory. At one point I had multiple WebKit helpers sitting around, each hundreds of MB.

I checked the process/files and they were tied to CodexBar’s WebKit storage, not the official ChatGPT app. Removing CodexBar stopped it from coming back.

Attaching the screenshot. Might be a stuck WebKit view or leaked ChatGPT session inside CodexBar.

I have similar issue, it shows as https://chatgpt.com in CPU as well and eats 900MB or ram and uses 100% of CPU.

Same issue. Disabling the "OpenAI Web Extras" for Codex provider seems to help for now.
