Anthropic blocks Claude subscriptions from OpenClaw access, requires separate pay-as-you-go billing
Anthropic is effectively blocking Claude subscription access to third-party tools like OpenClaw starting April 4, 2026 at 3PM ET. Users will need to purchase separate pay-as-you-go usage bundles to continue using OpenClaw with Claude. The move comes as OpenClaw's popularity has strained Anthropic's infrastructure capacity.

Anthropic reduces Claude usage allowances during peak hours to manage capacity
Anthropic on Wednesday adjusted Claude's session limits for Free, Pro, and Max subscribers during peak demand hours (05:00-11:00 PT / 13:00-19:00 GMT). Users can now consume five hours of allowance in under five hours during these periods, while off-peak usage maintains standard pacing. Approximately 7% of Pro tier users will hit limits they previously wouldn't have encountered.
