It's the PayPal model of customer service: they'll ban you at any time for any reason or none at all, but if you're very nice they might be willing to have a human look at that decision at some point, but probably not.
replyOh yeah that happened to my paypal the one time I had a user donate to me!
replyAt least the only action I was still able to perform was to refund the user, or paypal would have just kept the money.
That's the thing, it's not announced at all. The title is wrong.
replyIt's just OpenClaw people claiming "Anthropic told us it's fine".
They had this on here since day 1 of the block. This is just Openclaw saying "if you run Openclaw inside Claude Code, it's compliant with the Anthropic ToS", because, well, it's literally running inside Claude Code.
replyWhat's not allowed is grabbing the oauth tokens and using these for your own custom agent, which is what was (and still is) banned.
Nothing has changed, this appears to just be a giant misunderstanding (and probably a poor choice of words from Openclaw).
Strategic ambiguity.
