Codex app update causes performance, UI, and data loss issues

After the latest update, the ChatGPT Codex application has become significantly slower, with each task taking a long time to complete. The new UI is confusing and has caused some users to accidentally use Codex usage credits when they intended to use normal ChatGPT. Additionally, users are reporting missing Codex projects, conversation history, and the Codex tab itself, with unresponsive support channels.

Please bring normal ChatGPT chats back to the desktop app; ChatGPT Work is using Codex usage and the new layout is confusing.

Has anyone recovered recent Codex projects, projectless tasks, or missing ChatGPT conversation history after the Codex app suddenly showed Projects: No projects ?
