i am facing issue using cowork it says unauthorized error

Bug

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

I'm getting a 401 Unauthorized – Incorrect API key provided error while using the official ChatGPT app.

The request appears to be failing on:

https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses

I'm using the ChatGPT desktop app on Windows, and I'm seeing the same error on Android as well, so it doesn't seem to be limited to a single device.

I haven't manually configured an API key for the ChatGPT apps, so I'm wondering if this might be an authentication/session issue on the ChatGPT side.

Is anyone else currently experiencing the same problem?
