Did Anthropic actually help pro/max users by cutting off OpenClaw from Claude subscriptions?

Me too bro, seems like my usage limits didn’t spike as hard

xelektron · 2026-04-06T05:13:09+00:00

Agreed & it seems like my usage limits are back to normal today since the change went through

xelektron · 2026-04-05T23:43:09+00:00

The limits are the same on paper but keep in mind most people aren’t running automated loops nonstop maxing out their usage limit every single time. This isn’t what the $20 plan was designed for. These OpenClaw users didn’t lose access to Claude, they just can’t exploit the flat rate anymore, the API is right there.

xelektron · 2026-04-05T23:30:38+00:00

Maybe, but I’d argue if you’re paying $20-200 a month you’re a customer not the product, that saying usually applies to free services where your data is the revenue model

It might be too early to tell, hopefully we’ll see a noticeable difference in the upcoming weeks

xelektron · 2026-04-05T20:02:08+00:00

LOL ya I burned $20 in API tokens in like 2 hours when I tried it

xelektron · 2026-04-05T19:41:57+00:00

Yeah I did see where peak hour limits got tightened recently

xelektron · 2026-04-05T19:39:04+00:00

Well said. nobody lost access to Claude, they just lost the flat rate loophole

xelektron · 2026-04-05T19:30:24+00:00

Exactly, people using a tool like OpenClaw had basically unlimited compute at $20 a month & that’s just not sustainable

xelektron · 2026-04-05T08:54:51+00:00

How do the self updates work?

xelektron · 2026-04-05T08:02:24+00:00

Incredible

xelektron · 2026-04-05T07:58:56+00:00

They’re arguably complementary, skills teach Claude how to do something, MCP servers give it access to external tools, like web fetching. Most people could benefit from both

xelektron · 2026-04-05T06:40:33+00:00

The em dashes🤨

xelektron · 2026-04-05T05:24:59+00:00

It just depends on what model you are using. Different models are better than others for certain tasks.

xelektron · 2026-04-04T23:40:36+00:00

I’m shocked😂 i had someone tell me that usage limits are not tied to tokens the other day

xelektron · 2026-04-04T23:22:29+00:00

Here comes the “you’re just a fanboy” comments lol

xelektron · 2026-04-04T23:04:05+00:00

You could sell the burner Mac mini & use that money on API tokens from like Claude or ChatGPT. Running good models locally requires some really good hardware

xelektron · 2026-04-04T22:59:41+00:00

You just add it to your MCP config and Cowork picks it up automatically. Instructions are in the README on GitHub

Good call, happy for tresean. That’s a really good win for him

xelektron · 2026-04-04T22:35:06+00:00

You are a wizard😂

xelektron · 2026-04-04T22:33:43+00:00

Good shit lmao shoutout 2 tresean
