Last week Z.ai coding plan was unusable due to a lot of people abusing the coding plan with OpenClaw. This can be verified: https://openrouter.ai/z-ai/glm-5-turbo

OpenClaw managed to burn 2.46 trillion tokens just in the last 30 days.

I'm not even gonna judge why someone needs an AI Assistant running 24/7, the core issue is that coding plans are being ruined because they're not paying for ridiculous amount of tokens burned.

Anthropic is actually making the right decision: You want a LOT of tokens for your 24/7 agent? Ok, just use the API and pay for your tokens.

I enjoy paying for a sub that I actually use to code, and what we pay today is not even enough to cover the costs of running AI servers.

Every SaaS company has to deal with resource whales

Either they pay up or get off
