How to avoid OpenClaw temporary restrictions (suspicious activity flags)?

OpenClaw flags accounts for suspicious activity when it detects patterns like API key sharing across multiple IP addresses, an unusually high number of failed authentication attempts within a short window (typically more than 10 failed logins in 5 minutes), or automated login scripts that bypass normal OAuth flows. Most temporary restrictions lift automatically within 1 to 4 hours — do not attempt repeated logins during this window, as each failed attempt resets the cooldown timer.
