Anthropic Reinstates OpenClaw on Claude Subscriptions With Agent SDK Credits — Compute Arbitrage Era Ends
After blocking third-party agent access in April 2026, Anthropic reversed course in May by introducing Agent SDK credits ($20-$200 budget) for paid subscribers. Users can now use OpenClaw with Claude subscriptions again, but inefficient agents drain the credit budget faster — ending the era where a $20 subscription could power hundreds of dollars in API usage.
Product Idea from this Signal
A web app that tracks OpenClaw agent token spend per provider, per skill, and per conversation, then flags inefficient prompts burning through Agent SDK credits
