Why is Google banning OpenClaw users from Antigravity?

Google's automated systems flagged OAuth token usage from OpenClaw as 'malicious usage' and permanently disabled accounts, including $250/month AI Ultra subscribers, with no warning or refund.

Can I still use OpenClaw with Google APIs?

Google's ToS still bans third-party tools from using Antigravity OAuth tokens. Using OpenClaw with Google APIs risks account suspension. OpenAI took the opposite approach and endorsed third-party use.

Did Anthropic also ban OpenClaw users?

Yes, Anthropic blocked OpenClaw's subscription OAuth tokens with 403 errors in January 2026, before Google's ban wave in February.

How do I protect my Google account from OpenClaw bans?

Use API keys directly instead of OAuth tokens, or use alternative providers like OpenAI or Anthropic that support third-party harness use.

Did Google eventually restore banned accounts?

Google eventually restored some accounts, but the ToS language banning third-party tools remains in place, leaving users at ongoing risk.

Google Antigravity permanently bans $250/mo subscribers who connected OpenClaw via OAuth

Google's automated systems flagged OpenClaw OAuth traffic as malicious usage and disabled paying Antigravity accounts with no warning, no refund, mid-billing cycle. Users lost access to Gmail, YouTube, entire Google accounts. Anthropic did the same in January. OpenAI went opposite direction, endorsing third-party use.

Product Idea from this Signal

A failover proxy that swaps banned OAuth connections to working alternatives automatically when providers cut you off

2.9k ▲

Google permanently banned $250/month Antigravity subscribers who connected via OpenClaw OAuth. Anthropic killed Claude OAuth for all third-party tools overnight, breaking thousands of active setups with no migration path. Every time a provider decides OpenClaw violates their ToS, users lose access to critical integrations with zero warning. This tool maintains a resilient connection layer that detects provider bans in real time, automatically switches to alternative authentication methods, and keeps your agents running through provider policy changes.
