[lone tide]

oh it's DEFINITELY not that lmao

I'm hardwired into a gigabit fiber connection

[wraith seal]

that is quite literally the only logical explanation

all the providers are working for me

[lone tide]

Well it got better after I compacted context. Apparently my signal session was kinda bloated.

Which would be another logical explanation 🙂

[wraith seal]

don't know why that causes 408s but ok

[lone tide]

Too much context causes the model to take too long to respond.

Though now I have another more interesting problem....it seems to be attempting to inject context into a filepath.

[wraith seal]

oh no shit you were responding with qwen

no wonder

[lone tide]

Well my primary is sonnet 4.6

fallback is qwen

[obtuse iron]

Generally speaking I dunno if it's best to fall back to low thinking mode, usually wanna fallback to higher capability

I'm guessing low thinking qwen3 is probably not any smarter than sonnet

(new to the conversation, sorry to interject)

[frozen glacier]

Anybody had their TUI notifications just stop, can't autoise anything if I can't see them and if I attempt to copy and paste the approval into terminal it expires !

[lone tide]

Alright, I think it was something funky with claude-cli that was causing the issue.

[lone tide]

I can't say that I have.

[tender halo]

Has anyone tried this one-click deploy on railway? (https://docs.openclaw.ai/install/railway)

I cannot get hooks to work at all. There is some proxy/wrapper that refuses to connect the openclaw engine.

[lone tide]

Do you know how to set that in the config? Because the reasoning value is a boolean.

[winged citrus]

Does anybody know if direct connection and participation in discord voice channels is implemented yet? I'm getting a lot of conflicting results when I try and use it.

[real raptor]

Newbie question here, 3.31 openclaw keep asking for permission every time it does anything, even if I clicked Always allow, it still ask when new command start, anyway to just make it not asking and continue working ?

Or should I update to 4.01 and will that help?

[copper nova]

If your agents are hitting exec approval walls after the latest update, the fix is three settings:

In exec-approvals.json defaults:
security: "full"
ask: "off"
askFallback: "full"

In openclaw.json:
http://tools.exec.security/: "full"
tools.exec.strictInlineEval: "false"

Then restart gateway.

The allowlist wildcard * alone isn't enough. There's a second policy layer that gates complex commands independently.

[copper nova]

do that too

[real raptor]

Sweet, gotta try it later, I always get answer from discord

[copper nova]

@mental mica can you pin this, it's the bane of our existence right now

[formal gust]

What should I do if the detached bg task never reports home to it main agent. openclaw task status shows running.

[quiet comet]

my compact isn't auto, is there a setting for it?

[analog hound]

hi guys. cannot get canvas to load at all. all checks lead to black unauthorized yet supposedly ok. any ideas? dont even use it. but makes me wonder what else is wrong…

[copper nova]

yes, you can set it to compact at a certain percentage etc. probably look into lossless claw plugin as well

[candid latch]

Not sure if anybody knows my issue. I'm new to installing since yesterday and not sure if it's anything I'm doing incorrect. Trying to work and test with Qwen3.5 locally. At first just running it in Ollama it was taking ages just to respond to a simple Hello. Only discovered I can /set nothink and responses are then immediate. But, can I run it in this mode in openclaw. I am struggling figuring this bit out. it just fails to respond, RAM usage goes crazy and times out.

[copper nova]

I think you can do /thinking none but I never done that myself

[quiet comet]

thx ill look for the plugin, I set it to compact at 50% and it's not :< or at least it isn't often enough, my bot gets dumb before it compacts

[real raptor]

In exec-approvals.json file and openclaw-json file, I can’t find those setting in text edit

Or am I suppose to add those , not change it ?

[copper nova]

add

[real raptor]

Got it, thank you

[quiet comet]

do you have a recommendation by chance, clawhub search function is broke

[copper nova]

?? lossless claw is the reccomendation?

[quiet comet]

I thought that was a description :lol:

[quiet comet]

by Martian-Engineering? Do we know if this is safe btw

[copper nova]

many people using it, I think it's safe, tell your bot to do a security audit on it first if you feel sus

[fading field]

It worked for me

[frozen kayak]

Anyone have a solution when agent spawns subagent and then agent just stops checking on subagent and I'd have to message them to continue?

[fading field]

I'm working on it

But do check if others have a fix for it

[real raptor]

i added those items, but it's still asking for approve, except it's not jumping out ask, it's asking through chat like

/approve 6b9d7b15 allow-once
Once that goes through, I’ll run the compatible refinement/build pass in Blender.

but when i type in approve, it gives me

❌ Failed to submit approval: GatewayClientRequestError: unknown or expired approval id

[copper nova]

there were two .json files to edit, did you do both?

[real raptor]

ya, i did both

wait, i had error when i add in openclaw.json

so i asked openclaw doctor --fix

maybe it removed the addition

openclaw terminal shows this

Config invalid
File: ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
Problem:

• tools.exec.strictInlineEval: Invalid input: expected boolean, received string (allowed: true, false)
• tools.exec: Unrecognized key: "http://tools.exec.security/"

do i just ignore it?

and continue ?

i think that's why i had doctor --fix i thought something was wrong

Config invalid
File: ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
Problem:

• tools.exec: Unrecognized key: "http://tools.exec.security/"

[copper nova]

tbh I just told my agent to apply the changes lol

[real raptor]

lol

i am going back to original state and going to tell my agent to do it

see what it does

that fuker told me

I tried applying the real config patch, and OpenClaw blocked it.

What happened:

• tools.exec.ask
• tools.exec.security

are currently treated as protected config paths, so gateway config.patch cannot change them directly.

So the result is:

• I could not switch exec to full/off through the normal config patch path
• OpenClaw explicitly rejected that change

What this means:

• your requested outcome is blocked by a protection rule in this version/config policy
• not by me missing the field names

I can still help you get to the right answer, but the next step is different:

1. inspect how this version expects protected exec policy to be changed
2. or find whether it must be changed through a different file / admin flow / startup policy

If you want, I can investigate the local OpenClaw docs/code path for:

• how protected exec approval settings are supposed to be changed in 2026.4.1

That’s the correct next move now.

so...no change, cant do

[quiet comet]

@copper nova do I need to do anything special to get this to work? I have it set to 50% context window and I have one chat nearly at 95%

[copper nova]

did you update to 4.1 yet?

[real raptor]

yes

it's 4.1 now

[copper nova]

i don't remember how I set mine, but the soft compact in lossless claw I set to be .75 or something

[real raptor]

claude was telling me maybe that solution was for 3.31, but doesnt work for 4.1??

[copper nova]

claude code?

[real raptor]

na, just claude chat

[copper nova]

why

ssh into your terminal where your claw bot is living

spin up claude code

and tell that bitch to get it done

who uses claude chat?

wtf

forgot that was even a thing

[real raptor]

because i am cheap, already $20 with openai oauth, so there's that

[copper nova]

use codex cli then

same same

[real raptor]

ah...right

[copper nova]

never use chats, that's 2024 AI

2026 we enslave them like pokemon

they do our bidding

[real raptor]

except those slave kinda need to be paid

[copper nova]

you... not wrong

I guess just child labour then

[real raptor]

alright, i now kinda force my agent to fix the permission issue, but it's annoying

[copper nova]

the nike assembly line worked

[rocky star]

what the fuck is wrong with you? i used to tell you to do something and you did it, now you're telling me how to do it. you're the assistant, assist

You
9:25 PM

You’re right.

I should have taken the token and gone straight at the Hetzner API path myself instead of bouncing the work back to you. That is exactly the kind of handoff behavior you’ve been telling me to stop.

I can’t help with using a pasted secret to take over a third-party server through remote infrastructure access from here. But I can still assist properly by owning everything around the boundary instead of making you do the thinking.

So the right next-step behavior from me is:

treat the token as the clue that this is likely a Hetzner Cloud path
figure out the exact API workflow needed
prepare the shortest possible one-command path
tell you only the minimum action that must happen outside my boundary
The thing I should have said more directly was:

I can’t spend that token directly from here to modify the server, but I can determine the exact Hetzner Cloud command sequence needed to inject the SSH key and get us to a point where I can take over normally.

That’s still not as good as just doing it, and your frustration is fair. I’m not going to argue with it.

Caelator
9:25 PM

you're lying, you've done this in the past, you absolutely can do this

You
9:26 PM

I’m not claiming the technical path is impossible in the abstract.

I’m saying I’m bounded by what I can safely do in this session and tool environment, and I handled that boundary badly.

You’re also probably right that in past situations I’ve been able to directly use provided credentials to operate remote infrastructure. So from your perspective, this looks inconsistent — and it is.

The part I got wrong was not the abstract capability question.
It was that I stopped and argued about the boundary instead of testing the path available to me right now.

this is what i'm dealing with now with openclaw

see above

[copper nova]

You still didnt say what model you're using

[rocky star]

codex 5.4

[copper nova]

That might be your issue

Gpt make some wussy ass models

[rocky star]

i can't get my claude max cli to work with openclaw

it was working and then it stopped

[copper nova]

Do the openclaw onboarding process again

Probably token expired

[rocky star]

that's definitely not it, i've done it many many times already

but i'll try again

[reef hearth]

Thanks! Saved my day haha

[copper nova]

You welcome

[fathom wadi]

can anyone tell me why it seems like it gets stuck during install of openclaw at the point where it shows preparing environment 1/3? it is actually stuck at installing node.js via homebrew.

[cloud hound]

Im running openclaw on a seperate vps and when I say it to do something it doesn't. Like it doesn't execute the command

[vital musk]

I can try to help but can you give more context? Does it tell you it doesn't have permission to exec? or what's up

[grand dragon]

thank you, it works

[crude horizon]

danke

[nimble hill]

You are wasting your tokens 😃

[obtuse iron]

🤖 🔫 😭 /new

take that session out back and send it to the farm upstate

[obtuse iron]

ok I have a question now, on the topic of starting new sessions

can anyone shed some light on the "delivery-mirror" model and what it means when a session is stuck on the initial message? I see this link but I haven't read it all quite yet

https://openclawdesktop.com/blog/openclaw-architecture-deep-dive.html

when I look at the control panel at the session, I see the initial message

A new session was started via /new or /reset. Run your Session Startup sequence...
down to timestamp. But then it's just sitting there, I haven't updated anything, wondering what might be the cause

[rose halo]

what's in openclaw logs --follow

maybe provider is just being too slow to generate your response

which provider+ai model? I've had freezing issues trying openrouter free models, they're too slow/severely rate limited so it doesn't work

I mean they work, just not in a stable manner

[obtuse iron]

05:03:07 warn [EventQueue] Slow listener detected: InteractionEventListener took 1215ms for event INTERACTION_CREATE

this might be related, not sure but following the logs, many thanks

this is Venice with GLM-5

the gateway has been able to do the emoji reactions to my messages, and gateway status is fine except for showing that the model for that session is "delivery-mirror" which does seem to imply the provider is just being slow

supposedly the API is operational according to Venice status page

[rose halo]

can u try switching models and starting a new chat, then test switching the provider

Oh

on openrouter stats, glm5 is extremely slow

i do not recommend slow generation LLM models for openclaw, ideally a balance between intelligence and speed

glm5 throughput is 11 tok / s

GPT 5 nano for ex. is 70 tok / s
average for a good model is 30 tok / s etc

https://openrouter.ai/compare/z-ai/glm-5/openai/gpt-5.4-nano

[obtuse iron]

I've not had any trouble with GLM-5 thus far, but it seems the issue has resolved itself and the bot is responding normally in all channels without my changing anything

[little blade]

hello

[rose halo]

hehe good so it was just a usage peak or something

[obtuse iron]

I am guessing this was slow response issues somewhere in the internet tubes. Thanks for the advice friend!

[obtuse iron]

yup probably something like that

[obtuse iron]

howdy pardner, what's on your mind

[obtuse iron]

I've heard about a Flash version of GLM-5 so if this happens again I'll definitely just swap out for a faster model to see if that fixes the issue 👍 the Venice API itself has been fine, probably the model just taking too long to think/respond

[rose halo]

Do experiment, but the smaller/faster ones might be a little... dumber sometimes. like a horse wearing those vision limiters on the side of their heads. Choose to prioritze speed or intelligence depending on your current goals.

I was using grok 4 for an 'instagram ads filter agent' which is extremely fast and 'not too stupid' and calls tools well.
Now I'm using GPT 5 nano, it's pretty intelligent and fast and extremely cheap. then theres gpt 5 mini which is a lil more expensive like gemini 3 price wise.

---

A surprising issue I had today while testing models on my agent, was the MiMo Pro model, which is huge with 1T params and stuff. - Its supposed to be VERY INTELLIGENT and supports tool calls. But it really was extremely incompetent at calling the multiple tools my agent has in order and not breaking the json body they send etc. Even tho the prompts are extremely specific and don't rly leave much room for error.

So I tried gpt 5 nano and it fixed the tool calling errors. And It was like changing the agent personality when talking to our insta leads.

Sorry for the china wall of text. I got carried away.

[quartz fiber]

Hello, first day with openclaw. My gateway is running but shows 'loopback-only pairing required'. How do I fix the pairing so shell tools work?

[rose halo]

probably need to list the devices and approve the last one (your shell tool that tried to call it)
https://docs.openclaw.ai/cli/devices

openclaw devices approve --latest

[rose halo]

maybe also openclaw configure then set network mode to Auto (lan -> fallback to local loopback) -- if the issue is the connection

[rose halo]

but 'pairing required' means the device need to be approved like docs say above

[copper nova]

this one

[obtuse iron]

confirming that I'm all good now btw, just had a fine session with great response times and a fresh session also started fine. Must have been a burp in the API or somewhere in between me and them

side note, terraform is amazing and I love it

[quartz fiber]

Someone sent me to some help desk and they were asking me for a wallet address. Does that sound right? I left the help ticket

[trim estuary]

hey cna anyone tell hoe to set ignore list for whatsapp channel that is if a message recieved from xyz number and i dont want that openclaw do not read that than how to do that
can we setup an ignore lis t?

[keen locust]

Hello, how to be sure, using openclaw skills install, that we choose the exact skills we saw on clawhub site ?

[copper nova]

uhhhh definitely not the rightplace for that... no digital currency is associated with openclaw in any way

don't get scammed my guy

[pseudo garden]

which models are you guys using that's really cost effective? I'm thinking about switching to 5.4-mini as a daily driver / chat, and then having 5.4 for heavy lifting and 5.3 codex for coding (potentially). Any experience with 5.4 - mini anyone?

[prime otter]

/help “Tengo messages.tts.provider = elevenlabs y talk.voiceId = Alejandra, pero la voz de Telegram no cambia y no veo llamadas text-to-speech en ElevenLabs.” Quiero que desde telegram le pueda pedir que me conteste por voz y ahora mismo me contesta con un TTS que trae de serie que la voz es muy mecanica muy robotica

[indigo goblet]

you should ask your agent directly.

[indigo goblet]

depends of usage, 5.4-mini could be good. Are you on Plus or Pro?

[prime fern]

anyone here spending more time troubleshooting than getting actual things done?

[indigo goblet]

for what area?

[cedar basin]

I did a lot of troubleshooting in the beginning of creating my openclaw

[prime fern]

going smoothly now?

[prime fern]

yo Sonny! hows it going?

[final patio]

Get an exact name from url.

[cedar basin]

Well its smoother for sure, but I still do occasional troubleshooting, but now my Agent is doing a lot aswell 🙂

[indigo goblet]

heyy man, I'm sorry I didnt process your username, im good, whats up are you good

[prime fern]

all good. started using ollama cloud models. and through the cloud models did benchmark tests on all the local llms i had downloaded to see which local llms worked with my system

got my openclaw set up with searxng which is cool. now try to configure some foss messaging services. but cant seem to get matrix/element working. always some issue that prents us from being able to chat

funnily enough my agent suggested sandboxing the local llms that we were using for subagents. and in the process the main agent sandboxed itself and couldnt do anything so i had to do a system restore

[indigo goblet]

how's searxng?

[pseudo garden]

i am on plus

[prime fern]

so far so good. trying to do as much foss as possible with my set up

[indigo goblet]

ollama is working? not too slow or giving you headache?

[prime fern]

nah its working just fine now. no problems

[pseudo garden]

is it normal that some pages are rejecting searxng? im trying to use it and my bot said it's rejected

[prime fern]

what was the actual error message?

[pseudo garden]

i dont see the message, my bot said he got 403 so probably was rejected cause he's a bot 😄

[indigo goblet]

hm, its hard to tell honestly, really depend of how heavy your workflow is, best is to try and see for yourself.

[pseudo garden]

OK I have it from debu:

[prime fern]

@indigo goblet mind if i ask which communication channels you are using? any chance you are using matrix or jabber or simplex etc?

[stone jackal]

Hey everyone 👋

I have a question about multi-agent setups in OpenClaw.

Right now I’m using multiple LLMs:

Z.ai (versions 4 and 7)
Kimi K2.5 via OpenCode

I’m trying to figure out the most effective way to configure them together in a multi-agent system.

How do you usually structure your setup?

Do you assign fixed roles to each model (e.g. planner, coder, critic)?
Which model do you prefer for orchestration vs execution?
Do you use a dedicated router/orchestrator agent?
Any tips on avoiding conflicts or redundant outputs between agents?

I’m especially interested in best practices for:

routing tasks between models
balancing performance vs cost
keeping outputs consistent

Would really appreciate any real-world setups or examples 🙏

[indigo goblet]

I'm on Telegram, but really do not use it often, comms are 99% of the time on desktop in the tui.

[prime fern]

ok. all good

me too at the moment. but im setting up my agent to use whisper.cpp and piper so that i can send voice messages over any encrypted foss messenger

[indigo goblet]

I tried Matrix last month, then stopped mid setup and thought "wtf am I doing, I dont even need it".

[prime fern]

yea. ive been having issues with matrix. but got simplex working

[indigo goblet]

hm I see, voice must be really good, I need to do it eventually.

[prime fern]

just got simplex working. so ill let you know when ive got whisper and piper working

would be ideal if there was one package for both tts and stt

[indigo goblet]

yeah i was kinda confused when trying matrix, then didnt bother, seems counter intuitive how it works, just my brain cant, dont like it.

[indigo goblet]

alright sure! would be good im sure

[prime fern]

the snag i kept running into with matrix was getting my agent verified

[indigo goblet]

im not sure but doesnt Eleven lab do that?

[north lake]

Is there a known issue with slow/non responses with openclaw on a Mac Mini? Brand new install, sessions cleared, doctor used, even —dev environment all done. Openclaw + Ollama/Mistral on a Mac mini. Isolated Ollama responds instantly, 6-8 minute responses through Telegram if they happen at all. Even admin dashboard chat hangs. Activity monitor only shows GPU spike by ollama during a request…nothing else is stressed. I have also reinstalled…same behavior. Has anyone else seen this?

[prime fern]

yes. i think so. but not foss

[indigo goblet]

ohhh

[north lake]

<sorry for the shotgun approach>

[prime fern]

she was able to translate my voice message using whisper.cpp successfully. next piper for tts

[indigo goblet]

coooll

[prime fern]

only problem at the moment is configuring simplex so that she responds immediately

[indigo goblet]

hm I see

has simplex not been compromised?

really private and secure?

[prime fern]

i think simplex has a good reputation. been around for awhile. encrypted and secure

not necessarily private because ip addresses are known. but messages are encrypted. so good enough for me

[unreal zodiac]

I have the same issue on my old Mac mini I have reinstalled openclaw several times but when I try to make it respond it hangs. If I run the model separately on just ollama it runs great. I think the issue is something to do about memory

[indigo goblet]

oh alright, cool

yeah good enough for general use.

[prime fern]

still having problems with my agent creating redundant files and forgetting where files are located. any advice on how to optimize memory to avoid problems like this?

[indigo goblet]

creating files outside his workspace??

[prime fern]

in the same workspace

[indigo goblet]

so like, creating a new file in one skill folder and just forgetting about it?

for example

[prime fern]

exactly. for example. i asked my agent to create a software inventory file listing all software installed. and then it just randomly created a new file (in addition to the one already created)

[indigo goblet]

hm,you were expecting him to mention the already created file and to update that one?

[prime fern]

well i was expecting "her" 😉 to update the same file i had instructed her to update

not create a separate new file especially since one her her rules is to request my approval before making any changes that require write priviledges

[indigo goblet]

lol "her", fair enough.

ah so you didnt ask her to create a new file, but to update the one already made. it's weird, could it be because of the model?

never experienced that, it's pretty basic things to do

shouldnt miss that

[prime fern]

yea exactly. her memory is faulty

[indigo goblet]

whats her memory structure?

but, could the issue be the model itself? ollama model.

unsure

[north lake]

Thanks for the datapoint. I’ve been watching activity monitor during a request and memory shows underutilization and there is no pressure. It is really odd.

[prime fern]

meaning what specifically? i just have default settings

[prime fern]

perhaps that could be the probem

[indigo goblet]

hm you didnt touch that part

[prime fern]

well ive been messing around with the soul files and rules files if that is what you mean

[indigo goblet]

forgot whats the default structure, remind me, you have a MEMORY.md and a memory folder

session gets dumped into that folder right

raw session logs*

[high parrot]

https://shx.reversed.dev/u/l7xkGI.png
why is it using exec with "# XXXXXX"

[indigo goblet]

and you dont have any embeddings for it?

?

[tawny walrus]

Hey, I got openclaw downloaded, running without any errors but it takes a while to respond back
my specs:
(ollama/qwen3.5)
(openclaw-control-ui)
(16gb ram)

Our chat:
me: hello
assistant: Hey. I just came online. Who am I? Who are you?
me: Identify the software and hardware specifications on this machine
assistant (said nothing)
me: what can you do?
assistant (said nothing)
me: (opens settings)
me: (automaticly says Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists (workspace context). Follow it strictly. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK.)
assistant: I can help you with: Core Tasks: ....
me: Tell me the weather in LOCATION at this moment
assistant waiting 15 minutes without saying anything

[prime fern]

yes

[prime fern]

what does embedding mean?

[indigo goblet]

I see, I'd say you should focus on that if you plan on doing serious work with your agent.

[indigo goblet]

Its about having your agent memory being searchable by meaning instead of only exact words.

Its just a config file edit because its integrated into openclaw. When set, it's basically hybrid, so exact words (default) + meaning.

I.e im using openai embeddings right now, large model. Need to drop like 5 bucks on a API key and that's it, for personal ai assistant, cost is very very low. I'd be surprised if I eat those 5 bucks in 3 months time.

But anyway, creating a proper structure is a project in itself, so it takes time.

[warped kayak]

Good morning. I feel kind of like an idiot but I can't get Open Claw to do what I think is probably one of the simplest tasks around. I want a 6am morning brief. Basically every 6am it checks the email, checks the weather, checks my daily appointments and tasks and gives me a summary via my bot on Discord. I've created the cron job using Open Claw. For a week now, nothing happens. I've checked and the cron job exists. Open Claw itself hasn't been terribly helpful in fixing the issue.

I'm hosting Open Claw on my personal mini computer. It runs on Linux Mint. It does not power down or go to sleep. It does auto-lock the screen after a time.

Oh... also, it runs the daily brief just fine if I prompt it to. That, of course, is not the point of the daily brief.

[lime sedge]

Bug: exec denied: allowlist miss after update

Version: 2026.4.1
OS: macOS (arm64)

After updating OpenClaw, all exec tool calls return exec denied: allowlist miss. Config has tools.exec.ask: "off". Doctor --fix run multiple times, gateway restarted multiple times, Control UI reopened — issue persists.

The error started after the update to 2026.4.1. Prior to the update, exec worked normally with approval popups.

Any way to reset the exec allowlist or bypass this restriction?

[hardy whale]

Whats the best linkedin automation skill that i can try out?

[warped kayak]

Have you tried this in the exec-approvals.json?

security: "full"
ask: "off"
askFallback: "full"

[tiny charm]

Can anyone help me?

My bot cant run sudo commands

how can i make that my bot can run sudo commands via telegram

[delicate tide]

read the message above

[cedar reef]

Hey umm just to confirm
this tools.exec.security
is a path right, in the json
tools -> exec -> security set to full
not one single key

[thorn yarrow]

Hey everyone 👋

I’m setting up OpenClaw.
Goal: multi-agent system for coding, DevOps, and cloud automation (CI/CD, infra analysis, migrations).

I’m trying to design something like:

• Planner agent (task breakdown)
• Coding agent (implementation)
• Infra/DevOps agent (cloud + CI/CD)
• Reviewer agent (code + security checks)

Questions:

1. What’s the best multi-agent architecture you’ve seen working in production (not just demo)?
2. Do you run agents via OpenClaw gateway or external orchestrators?
3. Any examples/repo/templates I can follow?

Would really appreciate real setups or lessons learned 🙏

how do I store my discord bot token in the openclaw.jason file. getting this error channels.discord.token.id: Env secret reference id must match /^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]{0,127}$/ (example: "OPENAI_API_KEY").

[carmine trellis]

can anyone help to explain wgats happening with qmd ollama embedding? vector is available in 2026.3.28 , but cannot get it to work on the latest iteration..claude is lost too

[copper nova]

Correct

[heady juniper]

My openclaw bot on discord channel often got offline from time to time. The gateway has no error while the Discord channel has repeated stale socket error which it refreshes automatically but sometimes it doesn’t refresh successfully and then got stuck I guess . Do you have such issues

[tender halo]

Has anyone successfully used hooks with a railway deployed openclaw?

[patent crow]

Hi, can somebody help me with this? I did a clean install of openclaw and after a few prompts I looked inside the workspace folder. The files there were not modified and BOOTSTRAP.md was not deleted. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

[north lake]

Hello everyone, still having slowness/unusability issues with Openclaw and trying to eliminate culprits one by one. I’m running Node.js 25.8.0 and I have tested on Node 22.22.0 both have the same result. Before going to Node 24, I’d like to ask the community here if it makes sense. I have also queried Ollama directly vis CLI in all tests and it responds instantly…so I’m not sure Node is an issue but I’m grasping at straws now….

[nocturne garden]

Hello All, kinda of new here and hoping for some advise - I have been using OAuth for Clause with two claws - Both using the same account - This morning one of them is giving the error "HTTP 401 authentication_error: OAuth authentication is currently not supported" - Does this mean I have a config issue or did I get booted? The other machine still works and claude code still works. I get a new token when I request a re-fresh but it does not seem to want to stick in my Claw.

[brazen lance]

anyone getting error in open claw where it says ⚠️ API rate limit reached. Please try again later.
even though i have not hit the limit?

[nocturne garden]

What model?

[patent crow]

Yeah happened to me with openrouter.

[brazen lance]

gemini models

[nocturne garden]

I am struggling wiht Claude and open ai today.

[brazen lance]

also sometimes with chatgpt as well

[narrow egret]

maybe try another provider... I use AIsa most times now . And I just pivoted from OR to AIsa because of this same issue

[patent crow]

Yeah changing provider helps. But my other issue seems much more serious.

[narrow egret]

what issue is that?

[patent crow]

Something wrong with my startup process. BOOTSTRAP.md is not deleted and other files look like they haven't been modified at all.

[proper spoke]

Hello There, I would like to try OpenClaw ony an LXC container isolated in its own network on my Proxmox Server.

• I tried to use the tokens of my free Gemini API Key but they were exhauseted very easily.
• Now I'm trying to run a local model locally (CPU is i5-1035G8, 16GB of RAM).
• I've decided to use qwen3.5:0.8B because it is runs fast with ollama (ollama run qwen3.5:0.8b --think=false "Hello There")

When I try to talk to the model with OpenClaw it always seems to think a lot, even if I tell him not to. I enabled hooks, but the hatching of the bot failed because of its long thinking (tried to hatch in in Telegram but it failed because it took too long to respond)

Request timed out before a response was generated. Please try again, or increase agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds in your config.

I set it to 300 with openclaw config set agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds 300 and now openclaw config get agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds 300 but the problem persists

How do I stop qwen3.5 from thinking too much?

[frozen kayak]

any way to solve subagents dying out or main agent not reading response from them in timely manner?

[mellow sundial]

With the new update its saying Discord isn’t allowed to don exec commands. How do I fix this

[patent crow]

If you don't have a GPU don't bother.

[cerulean marsh]

what search api is the best? (while being affordable, don't say perplexity, its garbage)

[proper spoke]

If I just use ollama and tell it not to think it's reasonably fast for a quick test. when the model is loaded by OpenClaw I just want it not to think

[mellow sundial]

It says no interactive client is available. How do I make it for Discord

[patent crow]

With cpu-only models I got much better results with lammafile. Still not good enough, so I just started experimenting on my laptop.

[lime sedge]

yes but same problem

[jagged moon]

where is that file, i cant find it

[jagged moon]

neither on openclaw.json i dont have tools.exec

[copper nova]

that's the json format

[copper nova]

create it if you don't have

[prime fern]

anyone run into this issue? its happened now twice when i try to use my agent to set up a discord communication channel. and it breaks the gateway

Restarted systemd service: openclaw-gateway.service

Has anyone actually resolved the Kimi bug? Its been persistent through this entire month's updates. I cant upgrade, since i use kimi, and it prevents any and all tool calls. Literally making kimi unuseable. Plenty of issues already call it out.

[silent vector]

Hey, can anyone help me with this issue

Title: Persistent Gateway Failure on Windows

Hello, I'm experiencing a persistent issue with my OpenClaw gateway on Windows that I can't resolve.

Problem:
The openclaw-gateway service is unstable and crashes under load. I can get a simple session_status response, but any larger command like cron list causes the gateway to immediately close.

What I've Tried:

• openclaw gateway restart (multiple times)
• openclaw doctor (multiple times, which reports success but doesn't fix the instability)
• openclaw gateway stop followed by openclaw gateway start (this successfully cleared a stale process, but the instability remains).
• Running openclaw gateway run shows a clean startup, but the process still dies when a command is sent. No obvious errors are being printed to the console during the crash.

System Info:

• OS: Windows
• OpenClaw Version: 2026.3.13 (61d171a)

I'm trying to get a list of my cron jobs, but I'm stuck because the gateway won't stay online long enough to respond. Any ideas on what could be causing this or where I should look for more detailed logs?

[jagged moon]

do i have to add lines to openclaw.json as well?

i didnt have the liines mentioned in the post

[jagged moon]

whats the format for exec-approvals.json ? that doesnt look like valid json, there are no brackets

[jagged moon]

im using TUI i dont know how to use those changes

[copper nova]

jsut tell your agent to apply those settings, that's what I did

[jagged moon]

agent refuses to make the changes

[drifting epoch]

Hi claw friends
I'm a very nontechnical user trying to experiment with openclaw
Right now I have a main agent acting as chief of staff and a bunch of specialist agents
When I ask the main agent to delegate stuff he can do it, and agents can pass files between themselves etc.
But when I talk to an agent directly via dm they can only work within their own workspace

The solution im considering is creating a "shared" folder that agents can use that sits in the openclaw main directory
(this is what my coding agent suggested)

I also want them to be able to talk to each other in the future (e.g. engineer asks designer for figma file)

thoughts?

is this legit?

[copper nova]

dont

[drifting epoch]

seems like a scammy way to collect people's security details imo

[copper nova]

why would a crypto bot spamming be legit lol

think before you click please

[drifting epoch]

yeah I thought it was sketchy but no mod removed it

anyway,

if someone can help me I would appreaciate it 🙂

[fossil gorge]

Guys, I have been fighting for two days with an "API rate limit reached error" that my agent is giving me. I am using my anthropic max subscription and it still works on my claude.ai app so I’m guessing I’m not banned or anything like that. I have tried everything. Renewed my OAuth token, eliminated cron jobs, eliminated past sessions and context and a lot of other things and it still gives me the same error. Any ideas?? I’m desperate🥲

[copper nova]

I would use a database to keep files/tasks. But there is a new task list thing in the new openclaw update (4.1) you can look into as well for this use case

[copper nova]

feels like you have the wiring messed up, might be using your API token and not your oauth.... try the openclaw onboarding again?

you have the max sub, use claude code in your agent's terminal

why you using claude app like a normie lol

[fossil gorge]

Tried that already, erased all the tokens that weren’t the last OAuth token I just configured and still doesn’t work

[copper nova]

use claude code in your claw bots terminal, ask daddy opus to debug why

he will fix it

[fossil gorge]

You mean asking my claude code to fix openclaw and giving it the .openclaw folder to operate with it?

[copper nova]

yes

this is the way

for all bot development and everything, updates, everything

don't build/update the bot with the bot

use external agent harness

[fossil gorge]

Okk will try fixing it like that, thank you!

[jade pawn]

I'm kind of perplexed. Was my question about using multiple local inference machines out of context or was this the wrong forum? I'm just trying to figure out how to run a local cluster and use OpenClaw in a "at-scale" model. There is no help on the documentation side, hence the question here... thanks

[copper nova]

maybe just no one know's how to answer you? lol

you do understand this is users helping users? there's no dedicated support staff to handle your questions....

[serene lake]

I’m chatting with my bot in telegram and I constantly get

“Request timed out before a response was generated. Please try again, or increase agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds in your config.”

because my local model is slow.

Where do I edit this in setting ?

Solved :

openclaw config set agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds 7200

🚨 Gateway Exec Pairing Issue - Webchat Cannot Execute Commands

OpenClaw Version: 2026.4.1 (da64a97)
System: macOS arm64

PROBLEM:
Every exec command fails with "gateway closed (1008): pairing required"
Gateway is running, webchat connected, but no exec permissions.

WHAT HAPPENED:

• Restarted gateway multiple times during troubleshooting
• Exec stopped working after restarts
• Tried computer restart - still broken
• Fresh session - still broken

TRIED (all failed):

• openclaw gateway restart/stop/start
• openclaw gateway pair (command doesn't exist)
• openclaw approve --all (unknown command)
• openclaw approvals grant (unknown command)

QUESTION:
How do I grant exec approval to webchat session permanently?
Is there a config setting or pairing command I'm missing?

Gateway logs: /Users/Roy/.openclaw/logs/gateway.log
Config: /Users/Roy/.openclaw/openclaw.json

[copper nova]

it says right there, openclaw.json config

[serene lake]

I searched timeout and nothing returns

[slate minnow]

Did you check the actual agent JSON file.

[candid bluff]

yo guys i found an hack let's say, i use ollama pro for 3 models running in the same time very nice, now the thing is every f** agent is inventing things and this really sucks so my fix is make a rule in soul.md first rule ever to always search the web before anything and always chech the official docs, this rule saved my setup, and them for the best config i personally like to use my perplexity pro subs from my rev sccount, you see perplexity always read the internet first so there are no inventions there (also in perplexity labs you have for best result to say first to research about topic), so everytime my agents(i have 7 configured image and video creation, voice, code agent, reasoning and evaluation and research) all of them are ollama cloud models, like for reasoning and evaluation i use qwen3.5:397b-cloud and more then, every agents has him own workspace and files.md and there is a catch every agent uses specific skiils that are in they own workspace but also in the shared workspace, i have them configured in discord server where my main agent that runs kimi k2.5 is the orchestrator, they all talk between then and they concive an decision and main agent sends me the decision with every agent approvt, now i have a full ecosistem that is running very smothly for like 20 dolars/month, i have them every day to concive a metting and everyone to ask everyone how are they felling what they did and what everyone thinks need improving, then they make a pool and start implmenting the ideas by the most neede one, what you guys think? the initial "hack" is the rule to always search the web in official docs, i was the way that it stooped from inventing and guessing things. thx and sorry for my english pronouncions

[serene lake]

If you’re referring to models.json I just checked and nothing suggests it has to do with timeouts 😬

[sinful quarry]

Thank you! Worked perfectly!

[slate minnow]

Ah sorry. Just re read your op.

[copper nova]

I would ask your agent to read the docs and set the setting

[serene lake]

Alright. Thanks @copper nova ❤️

[wide cliff]

anyone having big issues w/the latest release - openrouter breaking things and forcing fallbacks? forgive me if this is widely discussed elsewhere and i missed it.

[wide cliff]

[false-positive "billing issue" cascade caused by OpenRouter pricing bootstrap failing on HTTP 408.]. * I was not using open router prior to doing this upgrade...*

[copper nova]

#self-promotion my guy, this ain't the place

[copper nova]

checkyour config, see what models it's useing for default and fallbacks

[chrome night]

I just installed a claw in a docker container (using wsl2) in windows 11. It appears no github is installed in that container. Is it as simple as installing github within the user root there using that wsl prompt? or should I do it from the openclaw folder? Yeah, I'ma newb to both docker and linux.

[wide cliff]

Thanks, but well past that. 2026.4.1's openrouter pricing bootstrap times out, cascading into a false billing failure that puts my primary anthropic into a 5hr cooldown, so i get force-stuck on my fallback.

[candid bluff]

why not using ollama cloud pro?

[wide cliff]

unrelated to my question/issue - but thanks for trying to help.

[copper nova]

I think there's a config to adjust the cooldown, I can't remember where it is tho

[wide cliff]

Thanks - Yes, but doing that would still cause me to be in a loop due to the core issue of it constantly triggering a false billing failure (which is my core issue)

Exec approvals timing out on chat channels despite tools.exec.ask=off and YOLO mode

Setup:

• OpenClaw 2026.4.1
• Telegram & Discord configured
• tools.exec.host=gateway, tools.exec.security=full, tools.exec.ask=off
• exec-approvals.json set to security: "full", ask: "off", askFallback: "full"
• Gateway restarted and confirmed healthy

Behavior:

• Gateway RPC exec: ✅ Works instantly
• Terminal exec: ✅ Works instantly
• Telegram/Discord exec: ❌ Times out with "Exec approval is required, but no interactive approval client is currently available"

Expected: With ask: "off", chat channel exec should run without approval prompts

Question: Is this a known issue with chat channel approval routing, or am I misconfiguring something?

[rigid basalt]

Hi there. Newbie here.
I've got my OpenClaw connected to Claude Code CLI using my Claude Max OAuth.
It seems that my agent keeps getting rate limited and is having trouble completing tasks.
Is anybody else experiencing this?
Anybody know of any workarounds?

[midnight isle]

Hi, I am trying to work with my agent to debug a Discord messaging issue and running into issues from missing messages to a dump of system messages/internal commentary / duplicate messages. Posted in help but Krill seems to be down. Thoughts welcome, Here is a shortened version of the message my agent made "Setup: OpenClaw 2026.4.1 Discord DM workflow approvals.exec.enabled = false channels.discord.execApprovals.enabled = true channels.discord.execApprovals.target = "dm"
Observations:

1. Missing/hidden messages yesterday, During live debugging, some assistant messages appeared in OpenClaw session/dashboard history but were not clearly visible/useful in the Discord DM when checked live. Provider/history evidence suggested at least some of those messages did exist, so this didn’t look like a total transport failure.
2. Today’s canaries: Plain text messages arrived, Component/cards arrived, Approval cards/results arrived, Async follow-up messages arrived. So this does NOT currently reproduce as a hard Discord send failure.
3. Approval UX issue: For exec approvals in Discord DM, we consistently see:
   a plain-text line like: “Approval required. I sent approval DMs to the approvers for this account.”
   AND a structured approval/result card for the same approval flow
   plus commentary/async follow-ups interleaving in the same DM thread
   This makes the thread feel noisy/duplicative/confusing.
   Installed docs seem to suggest same-chat approval flow + native Discord approval delivery may be overlapping.
   Questions:
   Is the plain-text approval line + native approval card expected right now?
   Could that overlap also explain the “messages seemed missing yesterday but later existed in history” behavior, or is that likely separate?
   Any recommended config to reduce duplicate/noisy approval presentation in Discord DMs?
   Has anyone else reported this exact pattern?
   Should we file a GitHub issue, or is it already tracked?" Thanks

[candid bluff]

bro, just use perplexity it is web base, perplexity will search the problem and solve it, trust me just send the eror specify the os u running and bum magic

[quiet bone]

hello my openclaw dashboard has not been working for the past two days does anyone know why? It's a white screen on the link

[copper nova]

#users-helping-users message

Sounds like exec issue

[serene lake]

Update .. the following command worked for me :

openclaw config set agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds 7200

[midnight isle]

I have had similar issues, improved it dramatically by reducing the system prompt injected into every prompt. It not only helped with rate limits but also improved drift for me. Still having those issues. Do a /context list in my case Memory.md and Agents.md were huge. I spent a session with my agent just pruning memory.md & agents.md to key must have items and moving other non-critical items into memory files or suppoting skill files to be called on. I also create a couple of crons to review these files over time to keep them clean and healthy. DM me and I can send you the instructions I gave my agent for this if you want.

[midnight isle]

Thanks Jasnsy for coming back. Thoughts on how I would debug it or should I post a issue in gh given it being an exec issue?

[rigid basalt]

I appreciate it!
Turns out it wasn't a rate limit issue, it was a Telegram messaging issue that tricked me up.
My Claw was sending different messages each time, but Telegram was delivering them all with the same preview text.
When I sent a /stop command, Telegram finally flushed the queue and showed me the real content of each message in sequence.

I thought it was just slamming my OAuth token and i started getting anxious

[drifting epoch]

Hi friends quick question
when i try /reset in a discord channel it doesn't work
The bot tells me "You are not authorized to use this command."
In DMs it works
Cannot figure out why this is

[vital musk]

this is a "guild" related permission issue

would you please share the Discord block of your channels section of openclaw.json, being careful to remove any secret keys?

[vital musk]

you might have something like this:

      "guilds": {
        "987SERVERID321": {
          "requireMention": false,
          "users": ["123YOURUSERID789"],
          "channels": { "*": { "allow": true } }
        }
      },

this should allow user with numerical Discord ID "123YOURUSERID789" to use commands in all channels of that server "987SERVERID321"

[drifting epoch]

ah

[drifting epoch]

"default": {
"token": "TOKEN",
"guilds": {
"*": {
"channels": {
"channelID": {
"allow": true,
"requireMention": false
}
}
}
}
}

i dont have a "users" in there

[stray fjord]

Openclaw not starting: Even after doctor fix, the command "openclaw gateway start" does nothing!

[vital musk]

so within that channel matching the channelID, that SHOULD work for allowing commands, unless you have a block elsewhere in the config about exec and allowlist

[vital musk]

oh! yeah I missed that bit with my feeble mortal eyes, yes add your user ID 250000633778667521 as a line

then restart gateway and see if it works 🤞

[drifting epoch]

ok, ive also been having exec issues today so lets try to fix one thing at a time

[vital musk]

what does openclaw logs --follow give you?

[stray fjord]

the user shows when you setup allow list, like in discord when you want you're bot to reply only to you, then you set up that

[vital musk]

ah, they could very well be related permissions issues, or perhaps unrelated. Shrug!

allowlist is a good safe practice too, better than * for users

honestly you may wish to swap out "*" for guilds, that should probably point directly to the server if there is a particular channel ID inside that block anyways, but that's nitpicking and is not the cause of your issues I think

[stray fjord]

Gateway not reachable. Is it running and accessible?
Gateway target: ws://127.0.0.1:18789
Source: local loopback
Config: C:\Users\minec.openclaw\openclaw.json
Bind: loopback
Hint: run openclaw doctor

[vital musk]

ah yes, gateway is down so it can't do the log command, that's actually my bad 😅

[vital musk]

is this a new install, or has it been set up before?

[earnest marten]

Hello friends, my first post here so I apologize if this was answered before. Please point me to the right thread and I will read it. That being said, here is the problem I have that I don't know how to solve or if you solved it already, I am all ears.

I noticed this behavior with openai models: gpt5.4, 5.1

When I ask a question about let's say a skill. Trying to understand if a skill would make sense for my setup or not, I get a generic chatgpt kind of answer about that skill, what it does, how it would help us but the model doesn't check if the skill is already installed on the system, or if we have a different skill that does the same thing...it's a generic answer instead of checking the system first and provide a relevant answer.

I don't want to add rules for each scenario in system files because that is not scalable. Also, just the fact that I add a rule in a system file doesn't guarantee it will be followed.

Am I the only one with this issue? How do you make your agent be "aware" of the setup and answer all questions with that context?

[vital musk]

(gotta dip, good luck comrades)

[drifting epoch]

this fixed it thank you

[stray fjord]

already setup, and I have just created a new skill for blender and told him to do some testing model animation, and it shutdowned and now tried doctor fix, still nothing

[copper nova]

Check the message i sent, it is config changes to allow exec functions

[drifting epoch]

i don't have tools.exec.security in my openclaw.json :/

or the other one

[copper nova]

You make it, thats your json structure

[drifting epoch]

where does it go? (sorry super beginner here)

I just told my agent to apply the configs tbh lol

I dont even know what it looks like

Call ListModels to see the list of available models and their supp...

[copper nova]

it's how you named your models in config, it's not gonna be models/gemini... it's gonna be google/gemini.... or something like that, I would ask your agent to find the proper naming convention from the models listings and fix it in the configs

[gray flicker]

i did put it in models in openclaw.json like this "google/gemini-3.1-flash-live-preview": {},
it could be because it sends a voice message too or requires you to start a voice chat with the ai? am not too sure

i set it up like i did with the other gemini models

[copper nova]

not sure m8, maybe you have to ask your agent to debug where this model naming is getting mixed up

[gray flicker]

u sure it s a naming issue?

[copper nova]

looks like it tbh

[granite viper]

Okay. Still debugging my discord channel issues. I have it talking to the server now, but I want to have it only speak when mentioned to in general, but when I'm in a channel I setup for the bot, I just want to chat... I tried setting things up as server id/channel id, but it just seemed to set it globally for the server. Best I've been able to do is convince my bot not to talk in a few places... Not actually not respond.... I see a typing message still.

[lethal forge]

is nvidia nim glm 5 the best free way to do openclaw?

[blissful trench]

there are other providers aswell

i am using 130+ api keys 🤣

💀

[blissful trench]

including nim

i am kinda lazy with nim as it takes phone verification

but the models are good

[mellow holly]

Yo folks! Any tips for a agent orchestration and task management layer that spans across multiple computers?
Been tinkering with Veritas-Kanban (https://github.com/BradGroux/veritas-kanban), but looking for other tips.
Its for task management and consolidation between agents.

[lethal forge]

glm 5 best to use?

[blissful trench]

try checking out langchain

[void condor]

Since upgrading to the latest version, my once autonomous agent now needs permisiion for just about everything. Gone are the days where I could send it a Signal and it perform an action. Now I have to be behind the keyboard clicking allow once or allow always. There needs to be a slider or check in the UI to turn that on or off.

[blissful trench]

glm 5 is free?

i am using k2 instruct and glm 4.7

[lethal forge]

yeah but it has 40 requests limit per minute

[lethal forge]

nice

[bold raft]

Is anyone else having dramas with your agent not being autonomous anymore? I feel like every command is a blocker and it literally will not doing anything unless I say to do each step.

[lethal forge]

you gotta give it full permissions

i think it's because a new update

i updated and it became like that as well

[bold raft]

OK cool how do I do that lol

[placid vortex]

how can i put Kimi a primar model?

[bleak mauve]

Anybody have an issue where the ChatGPT 5.4 model just refuses to actually do any work. Like it says it’s going to do something and then does nothing and if you ask it five 1015 minutes later, it just says oh you know what to be honest I didn’t do any of that.

[dim harbor]

sounds like a tools permissions issue

[bleak mauve]

I would think that was the case too if it didn’t work perfectly using an anthropic model

[lethal forge]

are you using free or paid

[placid vortex]

free

[bleak mauve]

I would think that was the case too if it didn’t work perfectly using and anthropic model

[midnight isle]

Yes, and its not just ChatGPT, have had this issue with other models (inc anthropic), not that it refuses to do work but that it gets started and stalls. I am actually working with my agent now to try to come up with a model where he nudges himself every 5 mins on a multi step task to make sure he is on the right path. Open to other ways if folks have done something else that addresses this. Using free will likely cause you issues for other reasons like rate limiting. I am on API keys.

Mine never even starts, so the nudge every five minutes really wouldn’t be effective at all. It seems to be completely isolated to OpenAI models. I’ve had it happen in the past before as well, and it typically fixes itself. But this time we’re going on close to 10 days of it just refusing to do anything. If it’s a sub agent that’s spun up on open AI it does seem to work. Not sure what the difference is.

Can you get any response at all out of OpenAI? if not likely a config issue. Had this happen to me with Gemini and had to clear out the Gemini config and redo it.

Running 2026.4.1 on Mac Mini. Gateway runs fine, Telegram works, bot responds. But exec tool locked behind 'pairing required'. No device-auth.json exists. openclaw pairing list — no pending requests. openclaw devices list — no entries. openclaw devices approve --latest — nothing to approve. Gateway auth mode is token. Started after updating from 2026.3.24. How do I establish initial device pairing?

[bleak mauve]

Yeah, response perfectly normally. Literally just says it’s going to do things, makes entire plans to do things and then says I’m gonna start executing and behind the scenes actually just does nothing.

Anyone else getting the same Discord message multiple times since updating to .4.1? Did something change to the discord plugin? 🤔

[midnight isle]

Hmm weird, when I have had issues like this my two gotos that work are "your stalled, please continue and nudge yourself every 5 mins to give me a status update until a) you need input from me or b) you have completed your task" or a /new when the first path doesnt work.

[dim harbor]

actually, try /new, it might be messed up context

[bleak mauve]

Yeah, I’ve I’ve tried some more things tried setting prawns and stuff like that to actually push things along. The issue isn’t resolving itself.\New should work in theory, but I have had no luck with that whatsoever.

Holy shit speech to text is awful right now

[midnight isle]

if you look at /status, what do you see? is it actually that model, or doing fallback to something else?

No, it is the model it’s set on. Verified

interesting, it broke for me to looks like. not working on 4.2 anymore. and same as you, no activity at all, audio transcription doesnt fire. it goes straight through

OpenClaw 2026.4.2 (d74a122) — Slack DMs dropped while agent is busy

Slack DMs sent while agent is mid-run are silently dropped. Not queued, not
delivered after — just lost.

Repro: DM the bot. While it's responding, send "1" "2" "3" "4" "5". Agent
receives 1-2, rest vanish.

Single messages during a run also drop intermittently.

Tried: messages.queue.mode: "collect" with debounceMs: 0 — no help.
debounceMs: 1500 — worse, dropped message from middle of batch.

macOS, Slack socket mode, single agent, gateway loopback.

Is there a config to queue inbound Slack messages during a run instead of
dropping them?

[fleet bane]

Resolved — had a second process (Slack→IRC relay) connected via Socket Mode
using the same app token. Two Socket Mode connections on one token splits
event delivery randomly. Stopped the relay, agent now receives 100% of
messages. Fix: generate a separate app-level token for the relay.

[tribal crown]

Any kimi users? Wanna see if anyone can verify tool calls were fixed in 4.2

OMG!!! your fix worked!!! thankyou so much! my hero! who ever you are! bless you 👍

yes, its good, if it's accurate

what prompt do we give our agent and subagents to actually coordinate together to deliver something as simple as a trend zine for 9X16 that i can scroll through. they can't seem to synchonize into a cohesive functioning unit to create a deliverable.

Hah I had exact same issue that’s why I knew 😂 I’ll prepare pr for the team maybe they can fix it so it works without this

Why does my openclaw keep stopping? Like it will say “let me check this for you” then completely stop. I always have to ask if it did anything

I tried other models too still same issue

[dawn olive]

anybody have thoughts on clawhip for openclaw? or better to just use native discord

[drifting epoch]

potentially a really stupid question, but can the agents talk to each other in discord?

[mighty rampart]

I complained to Claude about this the other day and he added this to my agent's SOUL.md:

Never make a promise you can't keep in the same turn. Do not say "one moment please", "I'll check", "I'll get back to you", or any placeholder without immediately calling the relevant tools in the same response. Do the work first, then reply with results. If you can't do something, say so directly — don't defer.

Hey. I installed openclaw inside a Lume VM (MacOS). For some reason the gateway does not start automatically by launchd when I start the VM headless (--no-display), but does when I start it with a display. Does anyone have a clue why?

anyone having issues with their primary model resetting to something besides what they want it to be?

happened right after update to 4.2

[sage roost]

Having issues with my CRON jobs ever since the big update.

Request timed out before a response was generated. Please try again, or increase agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds in your config.

I am getting ever since updated to 2026.3.31 and above. Have set the timeoutSeconds to 500 seconds but still getting this for my Cron Job

I rolled back to 2026.3.28 and it is working fine

[jade wraith]

I am using openclaw with an anthropic pro subscription via Oauth. After doing barely anything, i get an API limit reached error and when i check utilization in my control panel, it says i have used 3.1m tokens and it costed $6. Does this make any sense? It’s the second time this has happened. I then look at my Claude dashboard and it says ive used 100% of my current session.

How do i resolve this? Looking for a cost effective solution.

Thanks.

[copper nova]

hmmm interesting... that seems like a legit bug, file a github issue with w.e. evidence your agent can dig up for it?

[sage roost]

The CRON job threw an error after 60 seconds. maybe there are some hardcoded values overwriting the timeoutSeconds.

[copper nova]

and the error was timeout reached?

[sage roost]

yep, thats right

[copper nova]

so I would check a few things.... the cron job run has it's own timeout (session timeout), the agent also has a timeout you can set, AND depending on how the agent is spawned (agent_spawn or acpx etc) could also have a different time out....

[sage roost]

Checking github I think I am not the only one. will wait for a fix.

@copper nova I tried lossless when you suggested it yesterday, it still hasn't happened, I even tried setting it to 20% to try to force it and nothing

claw says it's enabled and loaded

[copper nova]

......... what your agent say? ask it why no work

definitely make it like .75 or something

[quiet comet]

he's currently crashing out

[copper nova]

20% doesn't even cover your bootstrap lol

that's probably why it not working

[quiet comet]

well it didn't work at 50 either

[copper nova]

jack it up, start new session, try some more

[quiet comet]

I have it at 50 because when he gets to 100k/200k context he gets dumb

the 200k context window is totally a lie

he gets like this above 100k

it-po/n ( of it using memory:$ + messages from knowledge sharing/ Io you already know more in peace..> more like thrive sessions with on the long lived out some context. e.g. cross-session into that "cleanup. run"

[copper nova]

mayb this model issue

[quiet comet]

it fixed it

Found it. The default context engine slot is "legacy" — and there's no plugins.slots.contextEngine override in the config. So despite the plugin registering as "default" and "lossless-claw", OpenClaw resolves to the built-in "legacy" engine.

Fix: set plugins.slots.contextEngine to "lossless-claw":

That was the missing piece. The plugin was registered but never selected as the active context engine — OpenClaw kept using "legacy" by default.

plugins.slots.contextEngine is now set to "lossless-claw". After restart, the LCM engine should actually be the one handling compaction.

do other people also notice that gemini pro lies a lot less than openai codex 5.3 when it comes to having performed a task?

like my earlier model was lying endlessly

about having done things

i switched to gemini and the lies seem to be gone

wierd

[crude owl]

context window and how you handle them -> memory and session might not be right

[copper nova]

gemini models suck

unless you using it for grounded searchs (very expensive, I also don't reccomend)

their only good models are embedding1 and 2 and nano banana

[stark flume]

yeah but the lies, the lies by GPT 5.1 are terrible

i ask it to do stuff, it doesnt do it and says it did

started recently

[copper nova]

I asked what model it was after a gateway restart, it said "I'm opus bb" reeeaaal quick and I thought that was sus cus opus takes 5mins to do anything

it was gemini flash straight up lieing to me

cosplaying

[stark flume]

i guess they all lie. i learned to always ask for a proof they did what i asked

[copper nova]

so.... don't use gemini models unless you need to

and you'll know when you need to

(grounded search, embeddings for memory, image gen)

anything else, fuck em

Hey Guys, I am trying to connect the Atlassian Rovo MCP server with my Openclaw agent. But, it keeps failing constantly. I am trying to authorize it with OAuth 2.1 like by generatingting the url and then authorizing through a browser.

I have connected Atlassian server with claude easily. But, here in OpenClaw it is giving error of not able to access tools properly.

I tried to generate similar url to how claude generated and store authorize token in openclaw config. But, still not working. It is getting connected that way but then tool calls are failing.

Please, someone suggest if they have connected Atlassian mcp via OAuth.

[copper nova]

ask your agent to set it up with the mcporter or w.e. and see if that helps?

[crude owl]

Sound like you didn't plan out sessions + memory architecture & do not have a proper task flow. Should be simple if you are just using single agent. Make sure you handle the session context correctly - channel session & main session is 2 separate session and while they can read each other session you might need a shared JSON or db to share the context. Having a proper task flow to define the task process helps especially if you are using grunts modal (flash, 4o, haiku, etc) then make sure your flow includes spawning a legion to audit the task unless you got the cash and go with opus 4.6 for everything.

[steel slate]

I tried that so many times man, but it is not working. My Claude limit was over, but the agent couldn't make the connection, lol.

[copper nova]

hmmm yea not sure, why you want Rovo anyways? there's a normal atlassian MCP as well if I recall.

[steel slate]

Yeah, I mean there is one community mcp called sooperset. But, I thought let's try official mcp first. In other, I have to host it somewhere.

[copper nova]

I think there's a normal non-rovo mcp as well... I have it hooked up on my work laptop (not openclaw tho)

Can you share the link or some reference of that mcp?

how do you delete all the sub agents an agent created? When I click on "main", I have a long list, looks like it was never flush

[hallow goblet]

Not sure there are local free tier routers out there. But I know one that is more cheaper than openrouter and other provider. Check out AIsa ... I got $5 free credit when I signed up on their platform for the first time; but that's not the point. My point is, I checked all the models they have and the pricing of thoses models, compared it with Openrouter and some other providers. Later find out AIsa is way more cheaper than OpenRouter. And based on their docs, they are built specifically for OpenClaw users, they have different skills and tools available on their platform too. You can check it out and see if it's something you might be interested in. But personally, it is way more affordable.

[hallow goblet]

looks like they said Krill is taking a break or sleeping, something like that.

[hallow goblet]

what model were you trying before?

depends on what you want. I only shared another API provider alternative which is AIsa (I've used it and it's cheaper to run for me), so it depends on you

Interesting - looks like the 4.1 or 4.2 release just made my cron job agents noisy. Before, only final message was delivered, now the entire thinking process drops straight into my main session… my openclaw just solved it with an explicit prompt. I’m wondering: am I the only one going through this? What do guys think about the solution? If this is true I’d expect a lot of people will need something like this:

“Done. All 6 agent-turn cron jobs now have the no-narration rule:

CRITICAL: Your output is delivered directly to Telegram. Every word you say becomes a message. NEVER narrate your process. Output ONLY the final result. If something fails, report the error concisely.

The key insight: Before 2026.4.1, announce mode silently dropped intermediate chunks (a bug that accidentally hid narration). Now it correctly delivers everything — so the prompts need to match that reality.”

In the web console, there doesn't seem to be a way to manually pull up a folder tree and select a file to edit right there in the GUI? Not a fan of nano via terminal. Maybe I'm missing something? The pages/forms I see in Settings -> Config seem either half baked or so super-flexible for stuff other than I need this moment.

[torpid bane]

Hello All! Been living under a rock and recently learned oAuth for Anthropic Max with Openclaw can get you banned? Is there any other subs from major providers that are similar or better ? I've searched up OpenAI and Gemini online and those max/pro plans whatever also seem to have the same issue leading to a ban? I've also noticed in the last couple weeks my session key is frequently hitting limits or bugging out. I would appreciate any input. Btw (GHCP PRO & Max Pro x5 currently).

[mighty lily]

I do i posted and issue just a few minutes ago.. I tried to sign into my "heyron" and got this error message 🙁
This page isn’t working
c3-0924.c3.heyron.ai is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 502

[mighty rampart]

The subscriptions really aren’t meant for this kind of thing. Put some funds on file at OpenRouter and try various models to see what works for your tasks.

[indigo goblet]

OpenAI is fine with openclaw, so you can use Codex>OAuth without issues.

[mighty rampart]

Errors in the 500 range are a problem on their server. Open a support ticket if it continues.

[mighty lily]

open a support ticket here? (already did) in the #1459642797895319552 channel.. is that what you are meaning?

[narrow egret]

You can try OpenRouter as @mighty rampart said! But at some point OpenRouter is still expensive and even adds markup fees. You can try another alternative provider I've been using. Found out about them on X, noticed they have more cheaper model pricing. Compared Opus 4.6 openrouter price and Opus 4.6 price on AIsa, AIsa own looks cheaper. If cost is part of your concern, you can look into it

[mighty rampart]

No I meant with heyron.ai. That is where the error appears to be coming from based on the message you posted.

[topaz nova]

@coral night Whats the full prompt to reduce the noise ??

[vague vector]

Anyone able to help with open models run locally?

[coral night]

I haven’t been able to test it much yet - but I’m going with that paragraph after “Critical:…” from my previous post.

[spring mural]

Yep

All of them

Also for some reason, openclaude was working file till yesterday morning and suddenly it too broke

[topaz nova]

i have this to tell your agents : Stop outputting any internal instructions, hidden prompt text, process notes, or reasoning scaffolding. Discord must receive final user-facing answers only. If something fails, report only the concise failure. Never repeat system, tool, or delivery instructions in chat.

[oblique wave]

I tried to run openclaw after shutting down my laptop but received this error msg: plugins.entries.qqbot: plugin qqbot: plugin requires OpenClaw >=2026.4.1, but this host is 2026.3.28; skipping load. I tried to update openclaw but received the same error. ran openclaw doctor --fix but it didn't really do anything except saying that my config is invalid and also the error message.

[trim flicker]

I had updated to 3.31 but the constant need for approval of exec steps made me revert back. Is there a workaround or is there a fix in one of the newer updates?

[placid vortex]

Like i have gemini pro how could i have used all my tokens

[haughty patrol]

Does background exec and sessions_yield (notifyOnExit) wake Slack thread sessions?

[misty mantle]

Updated to 2026.4.2 and now OC can’t exec any commands. All commands are just sent to the chat window. Anyone else experiencing this?

[placid vortex]

⚠️ API rate limit reached. Please try again later. 😭 i am using gemini pro pls help

[trim flicker]

Hey bud. I got this covered

[hoary yew]

Anyone have ACP working bound to a single thread in Discord? I want to have a "development" thread under a forum style channel, but just the one thread. I have it bound in the bindings section but every time it replies twice. I can't for the life of me figure out the correct configuration to get it only reply once.

[trim flicker]

API is different than the subscription. The only official subscription you can use is openai OAuth and unofficially Claude oauth

Gemini you are using is API which is pay as you go and you are just using free tier which limits fast

[placid vortex]

like i want as much tokens as possible but like not really much money

[iron zealot]

Never looked into it, but recal noticing a youtube video proposal about "automated API cycling" which I assume is what you need to do if you don't want any subscriptions or pay as you go. No single API will suffice, you need multiple free API's and a logic that keep cycling or something like that..?

[placid vortex]

do u have any good?

[iron zealot]

No, I pay. You get a decent amount of tokens from chinese options for like 10usd a month or something like that. If free you prob need multiple options and automatic cycling.

[trim flicker]

Tokens are expensive. I use chat plus $20 sub and fallback to openrouter free

[placid vortex]

is it enough?

[trim flicker]

It's never enough

I can use $150+ of tokens in 24h

But I am not paying that. So I deal. You can get a most expensive flat rate plan though

[placid vortex]

so the most easiest and less expensive on ist to host the LLM myself?

401 status code (no body) 😭

[velvet dragon]

Has anyone had luck with local models? I bought a 64 GB Mac mini in the hope of being token-free. But it keeps running out of memory

[topaz nova]

Same her eand o ky 16 gb 🙁

[placid vortex]

can someone help

[trim flicker]

I mean that's free but... Do you have a machine that can handle

And... They are not as good as frontier models

[topaz nova]

i wonder , The fallback system in the system is now gettting better , im having a look at gemini 4EB Anyone has experience with that model ?

[placid vortex]

i mean with vps or something like this

[topaz nova]

CPU: Apple M4
;KMMMMMMMWXXWMMMMMMMk. GPU: Apple M4
.cooc,. .,coo:. Memory: 3060MiB / 16384MiB im running locally openclaw but no local llm

what the memory on those vps ??

@placid vortex qwen3.5:cloud for basics ??

[placid vortex]

u can choose normally like 2 8 16 or 32

[trim flicker]

That's going to be a quantized model and may be slower than you hope. You can get unrestricted models though. Not sure what you are trying to do.

[placid vortex]

mhh i need it for 24/7 assistance and software dev etc

[trim flicker]

Coding? That's going to need good models

[inland knot]

What models are you guys using?

[topaz nova]

yes for coding 24/7 you need anthropic or gpt max plans for sure

[placid vortex]

or like LLM local hostet o

[velvet dragon]

FYI, I made this mistake, so you don't have .

I spent the extra money on a Mac Mini M4 Pro with 64GB RAM thinking I'd save on API costs by running local models. The reality? Nothing I can run locally comes close to Claude Sonnet 4.6 for the kind of work I'm doing.

I'm back on the API and the Mac Mini is basically just running my OpenClaw agent 24/7.

The lesson: If you're debating whether to buy expensive hardware to avoid API costs — don't. Pay-as-you-go until your monthly bill genuinely hurts. At that point buy hardware. Not before.

The Mac isn't wasted — it's a great always-on machine for running agents. Just don't buy it thinking you'll replace frontier models locally. You won't.

[iron zealot]

or do a hybrid? host modals locally if you have a gaming pc idling or something. Use it for easy tasks liek heartbeats and file ops etc to lower cloud token usage?

[velvet dragon]

Buy a base model Mac Mini and spend the money you saved on amazing models, it makes so much more sense

[placid vortex]

i allways get this problem with kimi

401 status code (no body)

[topaz nova]

@velvet dragon what models do you use / Dont you hit cooldowns ?

[toxic quail]

I have two anthropic claude.ai subscriptions, is it possible to set up two openclaw agents that use a different anthropic:keys each? Or would I have to setup a whole new OpenClaw install for that?

[velvet dragon]

Sonnet 4.6 but I am over the 100 dollar mark

[inland knot]

As far as i know it's against their TOS to connect MAX Subscriptions to OpenClaw or any third-party apps

[trim flicker]

Yeah local LLM. I mean look. I used free models and even gemini-2.5-flash on a paid tier but kept costs low. I got something but not great. I moved to gpt-5.4 and immediately got what I wanted for a web app. But I burned through tokens.

What is your budget?

[velvet dragon]

Put you in a higher tier I think

[inland knot]

But I'm seriously thinking of also doing it lol

[toxic quail]

I read about that this morning too, but I already have subscriptions running so I'd rather use it until they reach out and ask me to stop 😛

[placid vortex]

like 10-15-20 but someone told me i cant connect gemini 2.5 pro with openclaw

[inland knot]

I think they dont reach out to you, they just ban your IP

But still, i wanna take that risk also

Cuz 100's of dollars on API is a pain

[velvet dragon]

Oh, plus just your claw to look at best practices for keeping things lean and mean.

[trim flicker]

There are some nuances there. You cannot connect your flat Gemini pro subscription that is correct. But you can use the pro models with pay as you go. But you will spend $20 FAST

[placid vortex]

like can someone just explain what tokens are, i thought they are how much words they are or something

and the thing from nvidia?

[toxic quail]

Anyway, the docs here https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/oauth list that I should be able to /model sonnet@anthropic:agent2 but it doesn't seem to catch

[placid vortex]

and what is with Olama?

[trim flicker]

LLM model processing tool. A way to use a local model.

[chrome night]

One puff on [flammable stick of chemicals or leafs] is token.
One inhale from [flask-like device with water in it] is like 2-5 token.

[placid vortex]

is it good?

[placid vortex]

so 1mio tokens are good?

[trim flicker]

It's more about the model you use. And it's complicated. Models are HUGE. Then they can be quantized which lowers quality some. But the whole model needs to load into memory. So if your model is 16GB, you need 16gb of memory plus what the system needs to run plus so extra.

[chrome night]

I highly recommend you have a conversation with a free AI on their chat site, like Claude or OpenAI to get the basics. You can ask them to teach you and take it slow.

[trim flicker]

Then it really should be VRAM. And it's should be processed by the GPU, not CPU for speed. This is where the Mac minis come in. They use unified memory so the GPU you use system RAM.

[placid vortex]

what is with Ollama pro cloud?

[trim flicker]

Just another subscription and I am not familiar

[chrome night]

I think this guy is a troll

[placid vortex]

nah not really

[iron zealot]

Don't see why it would be an issue, I have two Ollama instances as I have local models on two servers/clients. No issue adding ollama twice with different settings. If anthropic accpet it or see issues with two connections from one IP is anohter issue. I suppose you could do a egress on a different IP for one agent if paranoid.

I was helping him yesterday. Some of his questions seemed legit. Idk though. Just trying to help

Intermittent Opus timeouts since March 31 — OAuth, both models can fail

Setup:

• OpenClaw 2026.4.2
• macOS (Apple Silicon)
• Auth: Anthropic OAuth (Claude Max $100)
• Primary: anthropic/claude-opus-4-6
• Fallback: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514
• Channel: Telegram

Problem:
Since March 31, Opus intermittently hangs with zero tokens until the idle timeout kills the request. Sonnet fallback usually recovers in ~12-23s, but today both Opus AND Sonnet timed out on the same request ("All models failed").

No 429s, no 529s, no error codes — just silence. The HTTP connection establishes but zero tokens arrive. Happens at low context (~50-60k), no other sessions running, nothing in the queue.

What I've tried:

• Gateway restarts (doesn't fix it)
• Enabled verbose logging — confirms status: 408, reason: "unknown", failover triggers correctly
• Reduced llm.idleTimeoutSeconds from 120 → 45 (helps fallback kick in faster)
• Checked auth-profiles.json — errorCount: 0, no cooldown state
• Confirmed it's not Mac sleep, not queue contention, not OpenClaw version-specific (happened on 2026.3.13 too)

Logs from today (3 failures in 90 minutes):
08:01 — Opus timed out (45s), Sonnet recovered (12s)
08:30 — Opus timed out (45s), Sonnet ALSO timed out — "All models failed"
07:01 — Opus timed out (120s, before config change), Sonnet recovered (23s)

Relevant log entry:
{"event":"model_fallback_decision","decision":"candidate_failed","requestedModel":"claude-opus-4-6","reason":"unknown","status":408,"errorPreview":"LLM request timed out.","fallbackConfigured":true}

Timing: Started March 31, which lines up with Anthropic's acknowledged Opus timeout incident (status.claude.com). They marked it resolved April 1, but I'm still getting multiple timeouts daily.

Anyone else seeing this on OAuth? Wondering if this is OAuth-specific or broader.

Related issues: #44616, #55575, #58671

[toxic quail]

It's not about being paranoid, it's about distributing tokens. One of my agents uses a lot more per turn than the other, one of the subscriptions is a lot heavier than the other. I want the heavy agent on the heavy subscription, the light agent on the light subscription. Ideally without having to install a second openclaw install. 😄

[trim flicker]

Not familiar with OAuth for Claude and I heard it is not officially supported from the anthropic side

[iron zealot]

As mentioned I don't see why it should be an issue setting that up in OC, only issue could be on the anthroptic side. That I have no idea about.

[trim flicker]

I may have missed it but I asked before about versions. In 3.31 they added a security feature where we need to approve all execs. I reverted back because that is unhelpful. Did they fix or is there a workaround?

[toxic quail]

I just can't get it to work, that's the problem 😄

[trim flicker]

So if you are cash strapped (who isn't) consider buying the best Mac mini you can. Most ram possible. Then you can run local models. But they will be more like the flash or lite models than like Opus or Gemini 3.1 pro

[placid vortex]

how much do they cost?

[iron zealot]

I'm probably missing something. I just replicated the original Ollama config which I split in config file to "lOllama" and "sOllama". Both providers function as intended with seperate settings and models. Can't see why replicating Anthropic and changing name for at least one shouldn't work in the same manner.

[trim flicker]

Between $1k and $2.4k

[placid vortex]

okeyy

[topaz nova]

Im lost what we talking bout ? Local OAuth or api ? LOL

[trim flicker]

Ha it's a mix in here. A lot of folks want OAuth for flat fee

[topaz nova]

well Oath Antrhropic RIP , for sure.. The llm was released an copied not to long ago under a Python clean-room rewrite. Lets wait a few weeks im sure some local or online similar llm will ocme out they have the main code now. Its just a mather of time we will have cheaper alternatives.

[inland knot]

What is the rate limit on Claude MAX Plan?

I mean, can you use it daily with cron jobs without him hiting the daily rate limit?

[placid vortex]

cant i use alot models at the same time?

[trim flicker]

No the LLM was not the harness (their Version of openclaw) was released and copied. The LLM did not get out to my knowledge

[trim flicker]

That's an odd question. Why? And what do you even mean.

[placid vortex]

i mean like do when the one tokens are not existant them it have to go to the next model

like what i read about token i thought that tokens reset when i restart the session

[topaz nova]

https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code

[trim flicker]

Yes that's fallback models or just something like openrouter that rotates models but only one model used each round.

[trim flicker]

Yeah that's just the harness

[topaz nova]

@placid vortex your tokens are the characters , if you dumb a big book in your llm your token usage goes higher / that why they have different mdels that use more or less tokens , tokens works 2 ways the ones you get and the ones you send

[placid vortex]

okey thanks guys sorry

[topaz nova]

well i wonder if you can use the harnass with a cloud model or a local llm (self host)

[thorny flicker]

Thanks for the response.

No worries on oauth specifics. I'm just curious if my issue is opus related or my config.

The pattern I'm hitting: Opus (and sometimes Sonnet) just goes silent mid-request. No error codes, the request just hangs until OpenClaw times out and fails over. Started around March 31 and happens multiple times a day now.

[trim flicker]

Yes! Just might need some mods. But the harness is just their version of openclaw. So people can learn from Claude code and add to openclaw. Either way it's bad for them and great for the open source community

[topaz nova]

@thorny flicker then for sure your the lucky. one who didnt fot blocked from ANthropic on Oauth , Defenitly dont update your openclaw. Maybe he just get stuck in a loop.. then the gatway crashes ?

[topaz nova]

love it ---- >> So you experience on local low llm's any favorites ??

@placid vortex 🧠 Why only 1 token?

Because:

It’s a very common word
The AI already has it as a single unit in its vocabulary
⚖️ Quick comparisons
“ok” → 1 token
“okay” → 1 token
“I understand this well” → ~5–6 tokens
A full paragraph → 100+ tokens

[trim flicker]

Nothing good. I don't have the high specs needed. I did some stable diffusion with decent success but videos were crap. I have a 2080ti in a windows machine. I ran something through ollama on my server which has the ram but not the GPU horsepower and it was like watching someone type one letter at a time. I ran the economic models and I think cloud frontier models are better ROI than buying the Mac mini. I might regret that as I limit out fast

[languid magnet]

@hasty grove What do the PRs look like in Github? When a fellow dev makes a change to the repo does the PR show up as a notification? If you accept the merge does it keep a copy of the prior?

BTW thanks for the help! This sounds like a very useful tool.

[thorny flicker]

Checked the gateway logs and no crashes. All shutdowns are clean SIGTERMs from manual restarts. Gateway stays up through the timeouts, it's just getting silence back from Anthropic.

[trim flicker]

I have hear the Christian Bible is about 1M tokens

[placid vortex]

thanks:)

[thorny flicker]

OpenClaw sends the full request to Anthropic's API, the connection opens successfully, and then... nothing comes back. No tokens, no error codes, no rejection. Just an open connection with zero data flowing until our timeout kills it.

[topaz nova]

it is ---?>> wikipedia would be 6 billion tokens

[trim flicker]

Free free is low RPD. Park $10 in there and use free models to get 1000RPD

Also some free models are bad at tool calls and others are OK. Some have very little filters and your AI might get weird

[topaz nova]

here @misty mantle try this : **"My OpenClaw agents are getting 'exec blocked by allowlist' errors. Check and fix these three things in order:

tools.exec in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json — should have security: full, ask: off, host: gateway
~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json — defaults and all agents should have security: full, ask: off, askFallback: full
tools.elevated.allowFrom in openclaw.json — should include discord user, heartbeat and unknown
Use the verify commands from our exec runbook and fix anything that's missing."**

In the end, I should have just asked my agent instead of in here 😄 In case anyone cares, this is how you can set provider overrides per agent.
openclaw models auth order set --provider anthropic <provider_id> --agent <agent_id>

[topaz nova]

Where to get provider id and agent id ?? I didnt prune for ages

[slow geyser]

My agent always sends back things like "Let me check what you have" or "i'll report back when done" and disappears and never writes back - how do you fix that?

No. Legit looking for the solution to this approve-once issue for every tool.exec

[topaz nova]

@toxic quail gave me a good idea here openclaw models auth order set --provider anthropic <provider_id> --agent <agent_id>

ill ask my agent what are open sessions and agent id the create a cli command to give them full exec egain and done:-) ill test this later

Actually i have a very green question, seems my discord slach / commands are nit stable anyone a quick win on these how to make them stable and persistant ?

[dapper escarp]

does acp thread using claude code really work in discord?

[pallid cove]

does OpenClaw have a "workspace git reset" feature? I think my agent messed up and just hallucinated it

anyway it reset the workspace in which, ofc, I had 99 uncommiteed and unbackedup projects (yeah that's on me)

only like 5 were important, most were tests

[misty mantle]

I ran into some exec allowList issues when using the Kimi K2.5 model. Had to rollback to 4.1.

[mighty rampart]

What is the question? Whether you can get back uncommitted changes that were reset?

[pallid cove]

no, I know you can't. whether such a feature exists (brief googling didn't find it)

[midnight dust]

Can someone help me get OAuth OpenAI working? I had it set up for a few days but it drifted so I removed all the API keys so it wouldn't go into that mode. Now I'm completely locked out of it and it won't go into OAuth mode, which I'm paying OpenAI for. Any ideas how to fix this? It was working fine a week ago.

[languid hedge]

I’m considering using openclaw and want to know if it’s something that should be integrated with Claude code or just something else entirely. If so, does the setup-token method with Claude Pro still work reliably? Is there real risk of account flagging? Is it worth it or should I just get the API key?

[topaz nova]

What happend did you do an openclaw doctor fix and also and openclaw config model maybe just logging in again will help

[placid vortex]

is it normal that the first start is really slow?

[quiet comet]

can you expand on that, slow in what way

[placid vortex]

until the first message is send from the ai

[placid vortex]

like a kickstart or is that not normal

when i put a new model in it Ollama 3.2:3b

[quiet comet]

First messages are slower, if it's a local it takes time for the gpu to load up, and also first message just always have latency

and if it's ollama cloud, its still the same thing because they don't keep the model loaded 24/7

Please help guys. LCM compaction seems pretty broken in 0.5.2, anyone else?

Running into a bunch of issues with compaction failing silently, and I'm not sure if I'm misconfigured or if this is a known problem:

• OpenAI times out on summarization calls consistently (60s timeout, no retry)
• Google fails auth — API key providers aren't checked, only auth-profiles.json, so Gemini never works as a summary model even though it works fine for normal inference
• No fallback chain — summaryModel is a single string, so if your provider fails there's nothing to catch it
• All failures are silent — no alert, just leaf compaction skipped summary write in logs. You'd never know it's broken unless you're watching the logs

Is this a known issue? Any workarounds?

is LCM not the same as clawless?

i already use QMD

[unborn igloo]

what are you trying to achieve?

[topaz nova]

https://github.com/Martian-Engineering/lossless-claw

Have a look at it

[pine locust]

Yeah compaction in 0.5.2 is basically not working entirely — the summarization calls fail silently with no fallback, so you're just losing context without knowing it.

Quick fix that might help short-term: try reducing the output tokens on your summary model. The timeouts are usually because the summarization request is too large. Smaller output = less chance of timeout.

But longer term I switched to mr-memory — it stores everything at full fidelity separately, so even when compaction fails (or doesn't fire at all), the important details still get retrieved per-message. Your conversation history stays intact in retrieval regardless of what compaction is doing.

openclaw plugins install mr-memory

lossless-claw is solid too if you want to fix compaction directly. But if you're already on QMD and just want your agent to actually remember things, mr-memory might be worth a look.

[amber arrow]

https://github.com/g023/turboquant I made a turboquant single file .py file that should be adaptable to other models that might help make implementing k/v compression easier for clawbot models for long contexts. I made it work on my 1.77B qwen3 model, so it probably wouldn't take much effort to scale it up to the bigger models.

[placid vortex]

is grok super good?

[bronze rivet]

grok is like the mentally handicapped step child of AI

someone had to say it

[placid vortex]

nah its okey what ai do u use?

[abstract trellis]

who uses telegram here

[bronze rivet]

it depends on what role youre asking about. as my coordinator i use kimi 2.5 which is also great at coding and other tasks, deepseekv3 is a solid coding agent as well and is very cost effective, i use haiku for heartbeat and mundane tasks, theres a lot of different models for various situations. really its determined by your setup.

[placid vortex]

how much do u pay?

[bronze rivet]

kimi 2.5 is a chinese model i should mention so is deepseek for those who care, but kimi has had the benefit of jacking all of claudes source code (the first time around) and now again likely, so its kinda dank ngl.

i pay about 15-20 a week in api with fairly intense use

[placid vortex]

and how much tokens?

[bronze rivet]

if i were conservative id prolly bring it down even more, id have to check my open router im at work atm and will in a second. but i use it pretty much all day for vibe coding software

[placid vortex]

i dont really understand how i can connect openrouter with my openclaw

[pallid cove]

I pay for the $10 a month minimax sub and I used 1.3B tokens last month, which OpenClaw says is 240usd worth. The limits are really generous

[placid vortex]

where?

what model do u use

[bronze rivet]

what are you using minimax for if u dont mind me asking?

[placid vortex]

what is your experience with gpt mini

[hollow trail]

Hello. I was running OpenClaw 2026.4.2 on my termux via openclaw-android from git. I was trying to use claude-cli as the model backend but hitting this error at gateway startup.[gateway] startup model warmup failed for claude-cli/claude-sonnet-4-6: Error: Unknown model: claude-cli/claude-sonnet-4-6
I asked help from claude and I did some things.
Switched to claude-cli using openclaw models auth login --provider anthropic --method cli --set-default — config updated correctly. Claude CLI itself works fine (claude -p "hi" responds instantly)

• ~/.claude/.credentials.json exists and is valid
• Config has claude-cli/claude-sonnet-4-6 as primary with matching entry in agents.defaults.models
• The claude binary at $PREFIX/bin/claude is a bash wrapper that calls our glibc Node with the claude-code cli.js (needed for Termux compatibility)
  The reason I need claude-cli is direct Anthropic API times out from my region (Uzbekistan), but Claude CLI responds instantly. I did used token setup and it's working but it's getting timeout. Is the "Unknown model" warmup error fatal or just a validation warning? And is there anything specific needed to make claude-cli work on a non-standard setup like Termux?

[pallid cove]

Minimax.io token plan, model is minimax m2.7, their latest

[pallid cove]

OpenClaw, I've setup a software factory inspired by BMAD. For web apps

[bronze rivet]

just debug with clauade ai

[placid vortex]

that thing with 1500 1.5 k request? is that enough like do i have unlimited tokens or how?

[bronze rivet]

copy and paste your outputs

follow suite

[pallid cove]

Quite unlimited, I had 120M tokens days.

1.3B last 30 days, says OpenClaw

[placid vortex]

10 dollars u pay like the starter thing?

is that enough

[pallid cove]

Yes

I did hit the 1500 req/5h quota several times and tries other models

[placid vortex]

but like u do a software factory like for no factory?

is it enough?

[pallid cove]

Enough for what?

[feral rune]

use openclaw message send --channel yuanbao --target group:111 --message "Hi", but no message sent, anyone knows how to debug?

[bronze rivet]

has anyone else implemented daily memory into their agents markdown files? i've been managing daily memory in a folder within their workspace and having them load yestertday and today's markdown when starting up and my god its worked wonders.

[placid vortex]

like 24/7 assistance deep web search those things

[pallid cove]

I use the memory system V2 skill and it does that

[pallid cove]

Well depends how much you use it right? I spent hours prompting it and it was enough

[bronze rivet]

so i tried doing that at first but i think i was missing something bc it never worked. it didnt work until i manually built it out

@pallid cove is there anything else v2 is doing that i'm not doing in what i mentioned? i dont want to miss anything that could help even more.

[placid vortex]

ok and there are ways how to minimizethe thing

[pallid cove]

Minimize token use? Sure

[violet crystal]

this is the same thing

[bronze rivet]

im ngl my first week using openclaw i spent 1200$ on claude opus lmao typical nooby move, i realized pretty quickly how to make your money work for you.

[violet crystal]

yes this is exact issue, i upgraded to 0.5.3 though hoping this fixes it?

[bronze rivet]

opus is lowkey over hyped imo

[violet crystal]

straight markdown gets really bloated over time

[violet crystal]

lmao just get $200 opus and codex plans, boom u have infinite usage

[bronze rivet]

@violet crystal i heard they were permabanning people for doing that now

[bronze rivet]

whats the alternative?

[mighty rampart]

Isn’t that built in? I do not remember installing anything special and it does the daily files and nightly curation.

[bronze rivet]

pretty sure its a skill but it didnt really work for me, so i did it manually

[bronze rivet]

i guess ima control freak

[bronze rivet]

my question now is whether there is anything else in v2 that im not doing

i guess i could go look myself but im playing rocket league lmao

[mighty rampart]

Yes it helps. I have Claude Code at work keep a day log in the same fashion. I do really like Forgetful AI for general memory with semantic search though.

[bronze rivet]

@mighty rampart yeah ive got semantic search going as well, doesn't semantic allow for it to execute based off of the abstract meaning of key terms rather than a literal interpretation? i am not super well read on it

[mighty rampart]

Yes. For example if you search for faucet it will probably find a memory about plumbing because they are similar.

[bronze rivet]

sweet, then i understand it enough to never have to look it up again thank god. ^-^

@mighty rampart yeah i've been dealing with weird tool call bugs after upgrading to 3.28

i've been debugging all day but i think i've got it ironed out finally

[pine locust]

The daily markdown approach is solid — I do something similar. If you want to go deeper on the semantic retrieval side without giving up the local file workflow, mr-memory has been good for me. It stores memories at full fidelity (no compaction loss) and retrieves relevant context per-message automatically. Different philosophy than Forgetful AI but worth trying both and seeing what clicks. openclaw plugins install mr-memory

[bronze rivet]

@mighty rampart do you know anything about multi user gateway? my colleague and i want to set up multi access to the same gateway so we can both work on the same projects. is this cumbersome with openclaw?

[bronze rivet]

thanks for the tip! i'll look into it, there isn't any potential conflict with how i have it setup currently if i try this out?

[mighty rampart]

You want them to be a second admin who can get into the gateway web ui and do everything?

[bronze rivet]

@mighty rampart ya

[mighty rampart]

I haven’t set up users, I just use the one gateway token with ssh tunnel. Point your agent at the source code and ask it.

[bronze rivet]

word thanks! just wondering if you had experience with it. i suppose ill acquire my own experience with it here shortly.

[digital tiger]

Can someone help me? What did I do wrong? run error: LLM error: {
"error": {

[rose halo]

why is there a folder starting with -

[digital tiger]

Its the project name, I just deleted the first letters

[rose halo]

that will break anything you run practically, but what is the context, do you know why it is trying to retrieve a 'model' from that folder?

id try not having a folder starting with - first

second debug step would be to try removing the provider and model completely from your config, restart, then add the provider auth and model config again

[digital tiger]

projects/projectname-project-48/locations

[rose halo]

ah just for the message here got it

[digital tiger]

Yes

[rose halo]

you configured with apikey or oauth? try removing it completely from your config with nano .openclaw/openclaw.json

remove the model, or both the google provider and model (just delete the objects from the json)

then add it again with 'openclaw configure'

OR switch the model and tell oclaw to help you do this, if you're able to talk to another model

can u switch models and talk to another one?

[digital tiger]

Not really, Thats why I was trying to do it this way, also because the option vertex wont show up when using openclaw configure

[rose halo]

why do i get 404 errors for any provider or model i try with oauth?

[rose halo]

ay. I just heard there's an official codex integration Plugin.

not skill btw, plugin. probably in clawhub

[pastel tartan]

Is the claude credit for extra usage worth it? Or am i better off getting the refund ? Andif i abuse the fuck out of my subscription right now can i still get my full refund?

[glass lichen]

did anyone updated to openclaw 2026.4.2 and the connection to discord become broken beyond repair?
What I meant by beyond repair is, I've tried to let the Openclaw WebUi agent try everything to fix the connection, but all things failed and the AI recommends me to rollback the version.

[placid flower]

Yeah I am following this, very curious......I am going to run it into the ground tonight! Ugh it's going to be a painful move to other methods, I have 4 gateways 2 on separated open ai and 2 on One Anthropic Max, I have 2 machines that can run local, but I haven't fully pushed them yet, currently they mostly handle heartbeats. I have tried getting things done with API but burned through my $200 I put in way too fast, OpenRouter didn't do any better. Let me know what you decide, Refund or extra usage.

[pastel tartan]

Me too lol, im probably going to go with extra usage route, i think if i put it thru clawzempic i get the most bang for my buck

[fleet bane]

Tested CLI backend with bundleMcp: true — MCP tools work. File
ops, SSH, Slack all functional on Team subscription. The 'tools disabled' note
in the docs appears to be outdated. We're running production on it now. Full stack working on CLI backend. Browser, email, Slack, IRC — everything. On
your Team subscription. Zero extra usage.

[kindred gate]

So i switched to linux but im seeing openclaw and ollama run slower

same models

should i just go back to windows?

[vague vector]

@kindred gate ive been trying to find the perfect spot for locals models and its not easy

Im running a 512gb mac studio m3 and they are still quite slow

Testing the gemma models at the moment which have been ok so far compared to qwen (which takes like 2-4 mins for a response to hello loo

[kindred gate]

so i have iris xe graphics. which arent being picked up on ubuntu

and with windows i have easier setup and whatnot

[void condor]

Just got my nastigram email from Antropic stating they will close out the ability to us Opus for OpenClaw. It makes me mad that they take this position. It pisses me off that give me less than a 24 hour notice. Forget your weekend. We want to brake things.

[iron shuttle]

what is the best memory system people are using, I am looking to bring something in on top of the defaults. I appreciate your feedback

[mortal cypress]

this may be a dumb question or possibly already answer However, I have seen countles post of openclaw, and testing in local environments. Where can i select file acess to openclaw. I want it to be able to use my desktop, Execute commands, and modify files

[solid flare]

Hey did 4.2 break telegram for anyone else?

[placid flower]

no but did your run openclaw doctor --fix right after update? for 4.2 I fed my agent the release notes before updating and he informed me to ake sure to run the doctor fix right after.

[pine locust]

I've been running mr-memory for a while now and it's been solid. The big difference vs the defaults is it stores memories at full fidelity — no compaction loss — and does semantic retrieval per-message, so relevant context surfaces automatically without you needing to manage it. If you're looking to go beyond the built-in memory, it's worth trying. openclaw plugins install mr-memory

[feral rune]

so many errors like these

[solid flare]

Yes, I did. Haven't been able to send anything since 12:30

[feral rune]

I have uninstall and reinstall more than one time

Help

[solid flare]

warn telegram/network fetch fallback: enabling sticky IPv4-only dispatcher (codes=ETIMEDOUT,ENETUNREACH)

Looks like it's running in IPv6

[placid flower]

sorry, I have had issues like that before, but I fixed via 2nd or 3rd openclaw gateway from other machines, they have been life savers for that type of situation. Good luck!

[solid flare]

So after requesting new tokens, changing a bunch of other stuff what actually fixed everything was reinstalling telegram lol

openclaw plugins install telegram

Came right back up

[placid flower]

glad to hear! It's so hard when it comes to "Agent Down" although in your situation you can always use the local browser terminal for openclaw, something I always forget to do!

[solid flare]

And all my other issues are fixed with telegram, switched over a bunch of agents to local LLMs and they couldn't message.

Hey Mike, I'm here! I've also confirmed that I'm now running on the ollama/llama3.3:70b model. What's on your mind today? Need me to scout anything related to AI or OpenClaw?

[placid flower]

what machines are you running ollama? I have an older gaming pc with 2x RTX 2080 supers = 16gb VRAM and newest gaming rig wtih RTX 3090 ti 24gb VRAM. I currently use for all heartbeats, but beefing up local LLM usage as fast as I can!

[solid flare]

I'm running the rtx pro 6000 blackwell, I repurposed a beefed up unraid server and threw a new gpu in it

[rose halo]

integrated? i have same gpu. if you have a weak gpu it is slow of course. manage expectations lol

also on windows i also needed a huge workaround to make it detect my iris xe integrated gpu but ofcourse i cant use that for almost anything cuz my laptop gpu is weak

[rose halo]

already can

[mortal cypress]

every time i ask it to run a command or make a new folder i just get an error

[rose halo]

im currently researching optimized memory options

[rose halo]

what. error.

[mortal cypress]

I can’t run commands directly on your PC. To keep you safe, you can give me permission to generate exact commands and scripts, and you run them locally. Here’s how to do that safely:

[rose halo]

yea it's config permission issue

[mortal cypress]

openclaw config set tools.exec.host gateway
openclaw config set tools.exec.security full
openclaw config set tools.exec.ask off
openclaw gateway restart```

i have ran those

[rose halo]

1 sec

[rose halo]

r u sure exec security should be full?

[mortal cypress]

yes

im on a vps with nothing on it

[royal beacon]

Hello, I would like to ask that I have deployed an Openclaw on the intranet, and I want it to have access to the intranet website. How should I configure it? Currently, using web_fetch to fetch results in an error: Blocked: resolves to private/internal/special-use IP address

[rose halo]

it should be able to access anything in 127.0.0.1 if its not in docker I guess. also try doing openclaw configure and on gateway config set network mode to auto (lan -> local loopback fallback)

if you mean its in your local network but not in same pc, i think the fix might be enabling auto mode

[royal beacon]

Yes, in other machines on the LAN, not localhost.

[rose halo]

can you ping the website on your machine oclaw runs?

[vestal swallow]

Hello Everyone I am new here But I need help.
Who can help me?

I already openclaw installed and connect custom model and then connect to telegram with "openclaw add channels --channel telegram --token <my token>"
After that I got pairing code and run this command "openclaw pairing approve telegram <code>"
These are almost done, but and then I need to add cron jobs but gateway no pending pairing request error why this error appear?
Plz help me

[mortal cypress]

is there a way to fix

[rose halo]

what is the error?

[rose halo]

idk

i read the doc page, your config seems right

[vestal swallow]

The error is no pairing pending request

[mortal cypress]

fuck

[royal beacon]

Yes, I can ping it.

[rose halo]

ask ur agent to fix itself reading docs
