I reproduced this on my account.

    cd /tmp
    mkdir anthropic-claude
    cd anthropic-claude/
    git init
    touch hello
    git add -A
    git commit -m "'{\"schema\": \"openclaw.inbound_meta.v1\"}'"
    claude -p "hi"
Immediate disconnect and session usage went to 100%

I wonder if projects which are anti-AI might start smuggling in such identifiers into docs or commits as a way to sabotage people using Claude Code. Your project isn't going to get many AI PRs if just cloning your project wiped out their quota.

My assumption is that a lot of these checks and changes lately are not well though out. They are knee jerk reaction to address something which was not anticipated in the original design. A lot of these changes to address scaling and abuse challenges probably fall into bucket of applying bandages on top of bandages. Maybe if Claude could build something to validate the baseline quality of the product to ensure these things are discovered early on.

This partially reproduced for me.

I did not see my session use go to 100%. I did however get:

> API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"You're out of extra usage. Add more at claude.ai/settings/usage and keep going."},"request_id":"redacted"}

Why not simply git commit -m "openclaw" but this JSON thing?

Think they turned it off, or it's not always active. I can't reproduce it myself.

That's malicious and I think this is scamming from the literal money (you didn't do anything wrong, you executed one command and they scammed you out of the fair usage you paid for).

Please raise the ticket or at least GitHub issue for visibility.

Sooner or later some sort of complaint to the relevant trade authority should happen - this is a scam operation at this point.

That's rather shitty. It's one thing to disallow bypassing preferential pricing models, it's a completely different thing to castrate your model against some uses.

You can see how it goes in the future. Wanna vibe code a throwaway script? $0.20. Ah, it's for a legal document search? $10k then. Oh and we'll charge 20% of your app sales too - I can see how they are going in real time, mind you!

Ctrl + H replace openclaw with opensnippysnapper

on claude using bedrock it simply refuses to acknoweldge the existence of OpenClaw (Opus 4.7)

Its not Claude Code.

Its "Fraud Code".

All of this is just criminal and fraudulent behavior, done July a whole bunch of people who haven't learned their lesson, and keep sending Anthropic more money for abuse at scale.
