Anthropic is restricting Claude subscription usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw starting tomorrow, requiring users to either pay for extra usage bundles or switch to API key access. The move targets the heavy usage patterns generated by agentic tools that exceed what consumer subscriptions were designed for. Affected subscribers receive a one-time credit equal to their monthly plan cost, with discounted bundles and full refund options available.
Policy
Anthropic essentially bans OpenClaw from Claude by making subscribers pay extra
Anthropic cuts off OpenClaw and third-party agents from Claude subscriptions unless users buy usage bundles or migrate to API key access.
