Beginning at noon Pacific Time tomorrow, subscriptions for Claude will no longer include access to third-party tools, such as OpenClaw. This shift marks a significant change for users who have relied on these external applications as part of their subscription package.

However, users are not left without options. You can still access these third-party tools using your existing Claude login, provided you purchase additional usage bundles, which are now being offered at a reduced rate. Alternatively, an API key can be used to maintain compatibility with these external platforms.

The decision to alter subscription terms comes as a response to the growing demand for Claude’s services. The current subscription model was not designed to accommodate the intensive usage patterns associated with third-party tools. As a result, we are taking deliberate steps to manage our resources effectively, ensuring that we can continue to prioritize the needs of customers who utilize our core products and API.

In light of these changes, subscribers will receive a one-time credit equivalent to their monthly plan cost. For those requiring additional resources, there is now an option to purchase discounted usage bundles. Moreover, if subscribers are dissatisfied with this adjustment, they will receive an email tomorrow containing a link to request a full refund.

This strategic move is part of a broader effort to manage our growth thoughtfully. By doing so, we aim to maintain a sustainable level of service for our customers well into the future. This change is a deliberate step towards ensuring long-term viability and reliability in our offerings.
