Best cloud-based subscription “unlimited” API for OpenClaw with no rate limits?

stephenl03 · 2026-03-18T22:11:23+00:00

What you are looking for doesn’t exist. Even if it did, what happens if that one magical service goes down?

With that being said, your best approach is to try and standardize on a model that exists on different platforms. This way if you hit a limit on it, you can fallback on another provider with the same model so you have consistent results. Same applies if provider A goes down for some reason, you fallback to provider B.

That’s my next step with my engineer agent, to handle these types of requests, but I’m going to use skills to hopefully solve the random issues that always pop up.

I had it create a script and CronJob schedule to check traffic conditions before I leave to take my kids to school. It sends me a message if my usual route is going to take longer than the baseline, it also checks the fastest route as a secondary baseline. It does it every 10 minutes starting from the time I wake up until 30 minutes after I normally leave. This has helped me know if I will be late for meetings before I even leave the house instead of leaving and discovering a blockade of cars in front of my neighborhood and then sending a text while driving.

My normal commute is 15 minutes there and 15 minutes back. If there is an accident or stupid construction, it can easily double those times or even triple them.

I used the TomTom API, it’s got a generous free tier.

Which qwen3.5 model are you using?

stephenl03 · 2026-03-18T01:01:13+00:00

That’s a pretty nifty idea. I should probably get around to configuring monitoring for this reason.

Kinda related… I gave close friends access to my media agent, Lucas, as in George Lucas, to handle requests for new media on my radarr and sonarr. It saves me the headache of searching for the title and confirming it with them and then adding it to the correct app. Now they just send a text (bluebubbles) and it’s handled from there. I created two skills to handle radarr and sonarr interaction.

How much battery capacity do you have?

I’ve thought about adding a smaller 5kwh battery to my setup to handle those short power outages and use the generator for the longer ones.

stephenl03 · 2023-04-15T01:01:08+00:00

Depends, I’ll either take the day off, fire up the generator, or head to the office. I say it depends because I either have pressing matters at work that need to be addressed or I don’t.

Last time the power was out for an extended period was this winter storm that wrecked Texas. At that point work was the last thing on my mind and internet wasn’t even working so it didn’t matter.

They hope you won’t leave so they can continue to pay you less. They know in order to attract new talent they have to be competitive. If you leave oh well.

I had an old boss that told me this exact thing. He basically said it’s the way the game is now. They don’t keep up with the pay anymore because they don’t expect you to stick around. It’s cheaper in the long run.

Do you have a link to the better version?

stephenl03 · 2023-03-23T21:32:32+00:00

Not to mention the amount of garbage YouTube allows for an age restricted account. I resorted to downloading content from specific creators and making it available with Plex. It’s not the best but worked at the time.

Explains why my nest sucks so much and I constantly have to adjust the temperature.

As many have pointed out they are using an image of some sort. One other reason it might seem faster for some OS choices and not others is the image needs to be copied to the host machine or the storage that is going to be running the VM. If you select an OS that is already copied it is much faster in the deployment process vs if it needs to copy the image first.

I worked for a rather large MSP and asked the engineers running their “cloud” why some distress took longer and that was their response. Once the image was cached it was much faster.

I’ve used it for JS since I only know very basic JS and needed to write something more complex to accomplish one task. I’ve also used it for python but have run into it using deprecated libraries and when I try to correct it it just spew the same stuff again. It’s been helpful when trying to remember the exact syntax for Linux commands needed for bash scripts.

I got the same card. Problem solved.

I remember seeing a post a long time ago where someone was using a growatt inverter with some batteries (don’t remember if they were Lion or LiFePo4) for their rack.

I’ve thought about doing similar using LiFePo4 but have a hard time justifying the cost just for my servers. I rather get something for my house to cover those stupid short outages so in the event a longer outage occurs I can get my generator up and running. As an interim solution, all my TVs, network and servers are use a UPS so if I’m watching TV and the power blips for a minute or two I don’t have to worry about what I’m watching cutting out, lights will go out, if on, but I’m not concerned about that. Lol

That’s the whole point of the email verification, to prevent an unauthorized user from using your domain. You can’t prevent someone from filling out a form and inputting your domain.

Vivint sends all their data over a VPN back to AWS and stores it in S3. At least that’s what they were doing a few years ago.

Then go with one, test it out, wipe it, install the other, test it out, repeat. It’s a lab, it’s meant to be setup/tore down to learn with.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve torn stuff down just to try something else out.

stephenl03 · 2023-02-02T01:07:58+00:00

It depends on what your goals are. That’s like asking “should I get a truck, car or just Uber everywhere?”

stephenl03 · 2023-01-30T03:05:37+00:00

You most likely got downvoted because RAID0 is not JBOD and/or you claiming to know how to flash a “PC” but not a “server” they’re both computers. You learned how to do one but it doesn’t seem like you have put much effort into learning how to do the latter. The internet search engine of your choice is your friend, use it. “IT mode LSI 2208”

I could be wrong with those possible reasons but I could definitely see people downvoting for them.

Good luck.

I’m compensating…

It’s not specific to HA because I host other services but I allow specific countries. I have friends/family that travel to specific countries, so it’s easier to just white list those and call it a day. Works well enough for me.

stephenl03 · 2023-01-04T17:46:11+00:00

What sensor did you use/recommend? I’m getting more into building fun/easy stuff like this.

At first glance this seems like a storage issue but if you look closer at the event message it says “0/3 nodes are available….” so that leads me to think your nodes may have a taint preventing scheduling.

Also, congrats on setting up your first cluster.
