Abstract generation in progress

Artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropic has adjusted Claude’s usage policy. Starting at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 4, Claude subscription plans will no longer include usage quotas for third-party tools such as OpenClaw (commonly known as “lobster”). If subscribers want to continue using Claude through OpenClaw, they must switch to a “pay-as-you-go” plan, and the charges will be calculated separately from Claude subscription fees.

Anthropic Claude Code executive Boris Cherny explained that subscription users can still log into Claude to use these tools, but they will need an additional usage bundle, or they can use a Claude API key.

“We’ve been working hard to meet Claude’s ever-growing needs, but our subscription plans are not designed for the usage patterns of these third-party tools. Therefore, we need to carefully manage capacity resources, and prioritize serving customers who use our products and API.”
