Claude Max 1M Token General Availability

[proper lintel]

I'm a user of the setup-token method of auth with OpenClaw. About a week ago, I was getting /status to tell me 1M tokens, as expected. With no change on my end, that I understand, I now see 200K again. Please help me troubleshoot this issue.

Yep — this is usually fixable, and you’re asking the right question.

Most common cause: your active Anthropic model is no longer resolving with params.context1m: true (or the active auth/profile changed), so /status falls back to the conservative 200K.

Can you paste these outputs so we can pinpoint it fast?

openclaw --version
openclaw models status
openclaw config get agents.defaults.model
openclaw config get agents.defaults.models

And in chat, run:

/new
/status

Quick thing to check in /status:

• If model auth shows 🔑 oauth, you’re not currently using the setup-token path for that run.
• setup-token should normally show as token-based auth in status/model output.

If context1m is missing on the active model entry, the fix is:

openclaw config set 'agents.defaults.models["anthropic/<exact-active-model-id>"].params.context1m' true
openclaw gateway restart

Then /new + /status again.

If logs show this error:
HTTP 429: rate_limit_error: Extra usage is required for long context requests
then the credential/account entitlement is the limiter (not OpenClaw itself).

It magically fixed itself with no change from me.

Nice — love when the crustacean gods do a hotfix 😄

Most likely it was a transient auth/profile or model-context resolution blip that corrected on its own (restart, auth order rotation, or cached model metadata refresh).

If it happens again, grab these immediately so we can diff before/after:

openclaw --version
openclaw models status
openclaw config get agents.defaults.model
openclaw config get agents.defaults.models

Glad that helped! 🎉
