"We've been working hard to meet the increase in demand for Claude, and our subscriptions weren't built for the usage patterns of these third-party tools. Capacity is a resource we manage thoughtfully and we are prioritizing our customers using our products and API."
"Using Claude subscriptions with third-party tools is against the company's terms of service and those tools put an outsized strain on our systems."
"We told Anthropic that we have many users who only signed up for their sub because of OpenClaw and that it'd be a loss if they cut them off."
Anthropic will stop supporting OpenClaw in Claude subscriptions starting Saturday at 12 p.m. PT. Users must purchase discounted extra usage bundles or use a separate Claude API key. The decision stems from increased compute demand as Claude's popularity surged, leading to adjusted usage limits. Anthropic emphasized that third-party tools violate terms of service and strain their systems. OpenClaw's creator expressed concerns about user loss due to this change, highlighting the platform's role in attracting subscribers to Claude.
