How to estimate OpenClaw cost and prevent unexpected spend?

OpenClaw costs come from two sources: the OpenClaw platform subscription fee (fixed per tier) and Anthropic API usage billed directly to your API key at rates ranging from $0.25 per million input tokens for Claude Haiku to $15 per million input tokens for Claude Opus. Set a monthly spending limit in your Anthropic console at console.anthropic.com > Limits to prevent unexpected charges — this hard cap stops API calls when the limit is reached.

How to fix OpenClaw model access errors (plan does not allow model)?

The 'plan does not allow model' error in OpenClaw means your current subscription tier does not include access to the Claude model specified in your agent configuration — for example, using claude-opus-4-5 on a plan that only permits claude-haiku. Fix it by either upgrading your OpenClaw plan to one that includes the model, or changing your agent's model setting to a model available on your current tier.
