Anthropic Revives OpenClaw for Claude Users

Major Changes to Claude Subscriptions

Anthropic has made a pivotal decision to allow Claude AI subscribers to utilize OpenClaw once again. This comes after a previous ban aimed at addressing capacity issues caused by third-party agents. The new structure introduces an 'Agent SDK' credit system, allowing users to allocate specific credits for programmatic uses, including OpenClaw.

However, this reinstatement is not without its limitations. Subscribers will receive a fixed monthly credit based on their plan, which cannot roll over if unused. This means that if you exhaust your credits, you'll need to purchase additional usage credits, as they won't be covered by your general subscription limits.

  • Key points to consider:
  • New Agent SDK credits range from $20 to $200.
  • Unused credits expire monthly.
  • Additional usage requires extra purchases.
This change aims to balance user needs with Anthropic's infrastructure capabilities, ensuring a sustainable model moving forward.
