Anthropic cuts third-party tool access for Claude Code subscribers starting April 4, 2026, forcing separate pay-as-you-go payments, while OpenClaw's creator accuses the company of copying open-source features into its own closed tool before locking out competitors — a charge Anthropic denies, calling it a sustainability decision.
