Need some help with Openclaw/gateway creating multiple sessions.

[round tendon]

I am having an issue where gateway is sending multiple API calls to xAI and thus creating ghost sessions, and i can only see them in my usage tab at the bottom, but in the sessions tab there is only one. This is creating a HUGE problem because my agent is split between three sessions, and has no clue what's going on and short term memory is out the window, any help would be great? please and thank you 🫶🏻

Hey! This is likely your gateway retrying requests without deduplication, which causes xAI to spin up multiple sessions even though only one shows in your sessions tab. Make sure your gateway is passing the same session/conversation ID on every call, and check if you have automatic retries or parallel async calls enabled — each one can be treated as a brand new session. To fix the memory fragmentation, consolidate your agent's state in a persistent store like Redis or Postgres keyed to a single session ID, so it can re-hydrate properly regardless of how many calls hit the API. What gateway are you using?

I have the latest version, and I’m about to like uninstall and reinstall to probably 4.23…I wish I had never updated 😭

I also have honcho running as a system wide service, I could look into maybe 🤔 if that’s causing the issue, but I was having the issue beforehand and like for instance all of my agent’s heartbeats we’re going into one ghost session and his replies were going there too, but I was never getting them in Telegram, even though everything was set up as agent main:main. now I have issues where I have three ghost sessions where one session has all the tool calls. One session has some responses and the other has another set of responses so he is split between all three and has horrible short-term memory.
