Anthropic cuts OpenClaw access from Claude subscriptions

Anthropic is ending Claude subscription coverage for third-party tools like OpenClaw starting April 4th. Users who want to continue using OpenClaw with Claude must switch to a separate pay-as-you-go option or purchase discounted usage bundles. The move comes as OpenClaw, a popular AI agent for managing inboxes and calendars, has strained Anthropic's infrastructure. The company cited unsustainable usage patterns from third-party tools and is offering affected subscribers a one-time credit equal to their monthly plan cost.
