AI Assistant comes to a grinding halt
I've been using the AI assistant with Codex (signed in with my OpenAI Account) successfully for weeks, however recently I have a recurring problem where the AI assistant will start to make changes, then slowly the UI comes to a grinding halt. You can first notice it with the UI loading indicators starting to slow down, then it just gets less and less responsive. I've tried leaving it along for a long time and funnily enough it does eventually make the code changes, but I get nothing from the chat log.
When it happens CPU/Disk doesn't spike at all, but memory creeps up to ~5gb. I tried disabling solution wide analysis and it still happens.
I've tried to fully reinstall Rider, clearing appdata folders between installs. Using 2025.3.3

Hi,
This is a known issue affecting Codex (Agent mode) in JetBrains IDEs, including Rider, caused by Codex rendering large outputs in the AI Chat window, leading to high memory usage and UI unresponsiveness. Please follow LLM-24887 for updates from our development team regarding this.
Best regards,
Vladimir
