Observed behavior: Running openclaw update / openclaw doctor --non-interactive --fix rewrites model references under agents from:

  • openai-codex/gpt-5.5
  • openai-codex/gpt-5.4

to:

  • openai/gpt-5.5
  • openai/gpt-5.4

Root Cause

This silently changes normal agent model calls from OAuth (openai-codex) to the API-key provider (openai). Because the gateway environment contains OPENAI_API_KEY for embeddings, model calls then start billing through the OpenAI Platform API.

Summary

Observed behavior: Running openclaw update / openclaw doctor --non-interactive --fix rewrites model references under agents from:

  • openai-codex/gpt-5.5
  • openai-codex/gpt-5.4

to:

  • openai/gpt-5.5
  • openai/gpt-5.4

Steps to reproduce

openclaw update

Expected behavior

This silently changes normal agent model calls from OAuth (openai-codex) to the API-key provider (openai). Because the gateway environment contains OPENAI_API_KEY for embeddings, model calls then start billing through the OpenAI Platform API.

Impact: This caused unexpected OpenAI Platform API usage/costs. Local session logs showed approximately $4.70 of provider=openai model usage in one day, mainly from automated agents/heartbeats, even though the intended model provider was OAuth via openai-codex.

Actual behavior

Expected configuration:

  • Agent models should use OAuth provider:
    • openai-codex/gpt-5.5
    • fallback openai-codex/gpt-5.4
  • OpenAI API key should only be used for embeddings:
    • agents.defaults.memorySearch.provider = "openai"
    • agents.defaults.memorySearch.model = "text-embedding-3-large"
