TL;DR
- Claude subscriptions will no longer cover third-party tool access like OpenClaw from Saturday, April 4th.
- Users wanting to use OpenClaw with Claude must switch to a separate pay-as-you-go option.
- This policy change is due to increased demand and usage patterns of third-party tools straining Anthropic's infrastructure.
- Subscribers will receive a one-time credit equal to their monthly plan cost.
- Alternative options include using discounted usage bundles or a Claude API key.
- Anthropic may be encouraging users to adopt their own tools like Claude Cowork.
