Der Kern für Leser: The policy is a half-step back from blocking third-party agents: OpenClaw and similar tools can run, but only through a dedicated pool charged at API-style rates.
Im Detail zeigt sich: Credits do not roll over and cannot borrow from normal chat allowance, which means heavy agent users must treat Claude like metered infrastructure rather than an unlimited subscription.
Entscheidend bleibt: The move points to a broader industry shift. Agent workloads cost far more than chat, so every major vendor is likely to separate subscription economics from automation economics.
