It's not typical for it to be that large, but there are situations where it can after significant usage.

You can manually delete it if you'd like.

almost same issue:

/goal long-running loop produces 480 KB single log lines via chain-nested turn{} tracing spans (34 GB log in one day)

Codex 0.130.0, model gpt-5.5 — same version as yours
codex-tui.log grew to ~34 GB in one day (yours ~33 GB in ~14 hours)
Cause according to reporter: chain-nested turn{otel.name="session_task.turn"} spans
Lines up to ~480 KB with hundreds of nested turns per line
Duplicate codex.turn.token_usage.* fields at every level
Status: open, labels bug, CLI, performance
Your analysis (millions of session_task.turn, duplicate token fields, long-running codex resume) matches this almost 1-to-1.
