Claude Subs Exclude 3rd-Party Tools, Go Pay-Per-Use
Prevents agent overuse; pay only for actual compute used.
Key Points

- 23rd-party tools like OpenClaw excluded.
- 3Use API keys or buy bundles.
- 4Credits/refunds offered.
Starting April 4, Anthropic excluded third-party tools like OpenClaw from all Claude subscription limits, requiring separate pay-as-you-go billing. Unlimited agent runs are no longer covered, pushing API key use. Developers gain predictable costs for core use but watch heavy workloads.
