Long running agents not working as long running agents? lol

So my long running agents are really not doing what is supposed to be. Noticed this a few times. It will complete the first goal fine, but if it went to the wrong path and I need to steer it towards a new path, it will start failing to be a long running agent.

Defeats the purpose of accessing it from my mobile, giving a prompt and catching it when its ready.
Tbh just using codex /goal is being more reliable than this, and it uses $$ from my sub and not API.

Right now I am stuck on planning next moves, loading conversation.

Will have to send a half done PR and catch things up from another session, which will have to load the context from the beginning.

sigh..

holy

Hey Lucas,

Sorry you’re running into that. Could you share the bc- id from the URL of your cloud agent?

this: bc-3cfc2be7-413a-42c4-a2d2-7571d12488cc

Another session, have asked to write a summary of everything it done and the nexst steps. it is planning next moves for an hour now.

I am sorry I dont want to sound like a prick but I have no idea how is anyone using this or why its called log running agents.

Thanks for the Request IDs. What I can see in the logs matches some known error patterns we’re tracking, and I’ve added those IDs to those tickets to help our investigation.

Opus 4.7 has been a bit tricky with long-running tasks. If you’re hitting this regularly, I’d recommend trying 4.6 instead, or switching to a normal (not grind mode) cloud agent. Long-running agents are great for specific workflows, but for most tasks, a regular cloud agent will probably give you a smoother experience.
