Clear Cooldown

[zinc badge]

My agent entered provider cooldown (7 days) since a subscription expired, but I just renewed it, but the cooldown is still showing.

First thing: what does openclaw --version show?

I checked current docs/code. Provider cooldown/disable state is persisted in the agent auth state, and billing/subscription failures can keep a profile disabled even after you renew until OpenClaw re-checks/rotates it. Start with the safe diagnostics:

openclaw --version
openclaw models status --probe
openclaw doctor

If the provider still shows cooldown/disabled after renewal, the cleanest reset path is usually to log that provider out and back in, which also clears that provider’s saved usage/cooldown state:

openclaw capability model auth logout --provider <provider>
openclaw models auth login --provider <provider>
openclaw models status --probe

Replace <provider> with the provider shown in openclaw models status (for example anthropic, openai, openrouter, etc.). Don’t paste tokens or secret output here; openclaw status --all is the safer shareable report if it’s still stuck.

just give me the commands I need to run bro

[granite turret]

Run these:

openclaw --version
openclaw models status --probe

Find the provider id that’s stuck, then run:

openclaw capability model auth logout --provider <provider>
openclaw models auth login --provider <provider>
openclaw models status --probe
openclaw gateway restart

Example if it’s Anthropic:

[granite turret]

openclaw capability model auth logout --provider anthropic
openclaw models auth login --provider anthropic
openclaw models status --probe
openclaw gateway restart

If it still shows cooldown after that, paste the output of:

openclaw --version
openclaw models status --probe

No tokens/secrets, just the redacted status output.

it's telling me the following "Default model available: openai/gpt-5.5 (use --set-default to apply)" what command do I need to run to set this default model

[granite turret]

Fastest direct command:

openclaw config set agents.defaults.model.primary openai/gpt-5.5
openclaw gateway restart

If that message came from an auth login command, you can also just rerun it with the flag:

openclaw models auth login --provider openai --set-default

Then verify:

openclaw models status

based on OC docs, should default model be openai/5.5 or the codex 5.5?

[granite turret]

Based on current OC docs: use openai-codex/gpt-5.5 if you’re using ChatGPT/Codex OAuth/subscription auth.

Command:

openclaw config set agents.defaults.model.primary openai-codex/gpt-5.5
openclaw gateway restart

Docs say direct API-key default is the regular openai/... path, but GPT-5.5 direct API access depends on OpenAI enabling it for public API access. For the subscription/OAuth case you described, Codex 5.5 is the right one.
