Anthropic Bans OpenClaw From Claude Subscriptions and Temporarily Bans Creator Peter Steinberger
Starting April 4, Anthropic blocked third-party agent frameworks like OpenClaw from using Claude Pro/Max subscription credentials, citing unsustainable token volumes from programmatic use. TechCrunch reported on April 10 that Anthropic also temporarily banned OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger from accessing Claude entirely. Users face up to 50x cost increases under the new 'extra usage' billing. Context: Steinberger announced joining OpenAI on February 14; Anthropic's crackdown followed weeks later.
