Your provider is rate limiting you, i.e. they think you sent too many requests or sent them too fast. Nothing to do on the software side.

Yeah — that’s an Anthropic-side rate limit/cooldown (429). Waiting for the window to reset is the main fix.
Practical checks if it doesn’t clear after ~10–30 min:
- Confirm your Anthropic account has credits / billing OK and the key is still valid.
- Make sure you’re not running multiple agents/heartbeats in parallel hammering the API (stop/reduce concurrency and try again).
- If you have another provider/model configured, switch temporarily.
If you paste a few fresh lines from openclaw logs --follow when you retry (and your openclaw --version), we can tell if it’s still rate-limit vs something else.

if you actually had high usage, theat seems like the best first step. I don't know the exact modalities of what kind of subscription has what limits, but I'm sure there are planty of people in #users-helping-users who know anthropic's offering very well.
