GPT-5.5 Codex reasoning-token clustering may be leading to degraded performance

https://opengraph.githubassets.com/099e4c84e3b8a7191641778b799c670095fb15e7827f947ecb81b7c509907ec0/openai/codex/issues/30364
GPT-5.5 responses disproportionately cluster at 516 reasoning tokens with related spikes at 1034 and 1552. This pattern suggests a possible reasoning-budget or truncation behavior in GPT-5.5.
