Individuals using their flat-rate Claude or Gemini subscriptions to run OpenClaw, a highly popular artificial intelligence tool known for its heavy token demands, are seeing their accounts disabled by Anthropic and Google unexpectedly and without reimbursement. Although other Google services typically remain usable after such enforcement, losing access to premium artificial intelligence features is still a major inconvenience for subscribers. As a preemptive response, OpenClaw’s creator has considered discontinuing support for Google OAuth logins on the tool.
Google DeepMind personnel cited significant “malicious usage,” which lowered overall service stability, as the main reason behind these sudden bans, mentioning little ability to restore accounts even when users were unaware of violations. Both Anthropic and Google are clamping down due to system abuse that violates flat-rate account terms by exploiting services through OAuth authentication, which sidesteps traditional per-token billing and often lacks proper rate limits. In contrast, Technology industry rival OpenAI has yet to block ChatGPT users for similar behavior, possibly due to employing OpenClaw’s own developer, which exposes differing strategies among large artificial intelligence companies.
