How to fix OpenClaw 401/invalid API key errors for cron jobs?
A 401 error in OpenClaw cron jobs means the Anthropic API key stored in your agent's environment is invalid, expired, or missing — regenerate it from console.anthropic.com, update the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable in your OpenClaw workflow, and re-run the job. This error does not indicate an OpenClaw account problem; it is an Anthropic API authentication failure passed through to your cron output.
How to report a OpenClaw bug effectively (what to include)?
A well-structured OpenClaw bug report gets resolved 3 to 5 times faster than a vague one — include the exact error message, the run ID from the dashboard URL, your agent configuration YAML (with API keys removed), the sequence of steps that reproduces the issue, and your OpenClaw plan tier. Submit via the support form at openclaw.com or paste it into the #bug-reports channel on their Discord.
How to fix OpenClaw git push failing in automation (auth/DNS/network)?
Git push failures in OpenClaw automations are caused by one of three things: missing or expired credentials (no SSH key or PAT configured in the worker environment), DNS resolution failures in OpenClaw's container network that block GitHub/GitLab domains, or a repository permission issue where the token lacks write access. The fix in 90% of cases is adding a valid Personal Access Token with repo write scope to your OpenClaw workflow environment as GIT_TOKEN or configuring SSH key authentication.
