A background service that detects when AI providers silently change pricing, cache TTL, or access policies and automatically adjusts your OpenClaw config before your bill spikes
Anthropic changed the prompt cache TTL from 1 hour to 5 minutes in March 2026 without a release note. Two weeks later they banned Claude subscriptions from OpenClaw entirely. Eighteen days after that they reversed the ban. Each policy change broke thousands of OpenClaw setups and spiked costs up to 50x. Operators have no automated way to detect these silent changes or defend against them. This background service monitors provider endpoints for pricing diffs, auth policy changes, and TTL modifications, then auto-patches your OpenClaw provider config, rotates to backup models, and alerts you before your monthly bill explodes.
