Bug Report: Anthropic OAuth refresh fails intermittently across Telegram topics

Date (UTC): 2026-03-13 03:40:11
OpenClaw version: OpenClaw 2026.3.11 (29dc654)
Default model: openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex

Symptom

Agent fails before reply in some chats/topics with: OAuth token refresh failed for anthropic: Failed to refresh OAuth token for anthropic

Reproduction (observed)

Anthropic model enabled globally (opus alias).
Fresh Claude login completed successfully.
In some Telegram topics requests still fail with OAuth refresh error.
Manual sync from ~/.claude/.credentials.json to auth-profiles sometimes restores temporarily.

Expected

If credentials are valid, refresh should be consistent across all chats/topics and not require manual resync.

Actual

OAuth refresh is flaky/inconsistent; some topics fail while global status may look valid.

Fix Plan

To resolve the intermittent OAuth refresh failure for Anthropic, follow these steps:

Update the auth-profiles.json file to ensure consistency across all chats/topics.
Implement a retry mechanism for OAuth token refresh to handle temporary failures.
Verify the expires_in_min value in the credentials snapshot to ensure it's within a valid range.

Code Changes

import requests
import time

def refresh_oauth_token():
    # Retry mechanism for OAuth token refresh
    max_retries = 3
    retry_delay = 10  # seconds

    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            # Refresh OAuth token using the Anthropic API
            response = requests.post("https://api.anthropic.com/oauth/token", 
                                    headers={"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},
                                    data={"grant_type": "refresh_token", 
                                          "refresh_token": "sk-ant-ort01-veHin"})
            response.raise_for_status()
            return response.json()
        except requests.RequestException as e:
            if attempt < max_retries - 1:
                print(f"OAuth token refresh failed (attempt {attempt + 1}/{max_retries}). Retrying in {retry_delay} seconds...")
                time.sleep(retry_delay)
            else:
                print(f"OAuth token refresh failed after {max_retries} attempts. Error: {e}")
                return None

# Example usage:
oauth_token = refresh_oauth_token()
if oauth_token:
    print("OAuth token refreshed successfully:")
    print(oauth_token)

Verification

To verify the fix, monitor the OAuth token refresh process and check for any errors. You can also test the refresh_oauth_token function manually to ensure it's working as expected.

Extra Tips

Ensure the auth-profiles.json file is properly formatted and contains the correct OAuth credentials.
Consider implementing a more robust retry mechanism, such as exponential backoff, to handle temporary failures.
Regularly review the expires_in_min value in the credentials snapshot to ensure it's within a valid range and update the OAuth token accordingly.
