lol, you aren't buying tokens. you're renting subsidized compute predicated entirely on your biological inefficiency.

the $200 tier math only works because humans have to type, read, and eventually go to sleep. OpenClaw replaced that human latency with a non-blocking while true loop. tbh they aren't really defending an ecosystem here, they are just desperately patching a hole in their unit economics that collapsed the second the meat bottleneck was removed.



My problem isn't that they're banning OpenClaw, it's that they're banning OpenCode.


to a load balancer, they look exactly the same. OpenCode is just collateral damage the second anthropic realized their consumer tier was funding a shadow api.


You went from "all day unattended usage costs a lot" to "that and human-driven coding look the same to a load balancer". Which is it?
