Starting April 4, 2026, Anthropic stopped allowing flat-rate subscription usage for third‑party harnesses such as OpenClaw, requiring affected users to move to a pay‑as‑you‑go “extra usage” billing model or use the Anthropic API instead. The company said first‑party surfaces like Claude Code and Claude.ai are optimized for prompt caching and subscription patterns, while external harnesses impose disproportionate compute costs and usage patterns that subscriptions were not designed to support.
