alt Hacker NewsI'm out of the loop on Claude, hasn't it always been possible to use the Anthropic API with a tool like OpenClaw, paying per request? Is this limitation just for using your monthly subscription account?

Yes, exactly.
Many people likely objected to the original restriction because it seemed as though Anthropic was trying to impede the development of competing tools.
If I'm paying for compute, why should it matter whether I use Anthropic's harness (e.g., Claude Code) or a 3rd-party harness?
