Bug Report: Usage being drawn from main Claude Pro subscription instead of Extra Usage balance

Describe the bug Despite having Extra Usage enabled and funded ($20 balance), OpenClaw requests are being attributed to my main Claude Pro subscription limits instead of the Extra Usage pool.

Expected behavior As per Anthropic's April 4, 2026 policy, third-party harness usage should draw exclusively from the Extra Usage balance, not the main subscription.

Actual behavior Usage is being drawn from the main Claude Pro subscription limits, leaving the Extra Usage balance untouched.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have an active Claude Pro subscription
  2. Enable and fund Extra Usage ($20 in my case)
  3. Connect Claude account to OpenClaw via OAuth
  4. Run any request through OpenClaw
  5. Check usage — main subscription limits are decremented instead of Extra Usage balance

Environment

  • Claude Plan: Pro
  • Extra Usage: Enabled, $20 funded
  • Date: April 22, 2026 (post-enforcement date)

Additional context Contacted Anthropic support and was unable to get resolution — ticket was closed without the issue being addressed. Unsure if this is an OpenClaw-side routing issue or an Anthropic API-side attribution issue, but flagging here as a starting point.

What Should Happen?

my extra usage should be deducted

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by verifying the correct configuration of Extra Usage in the Claude Code settings and ensuring that OpenClaw requests are properly routed to use the Extra Usage balance.

Guidance

  • Review the Claude Code documentation to ensure that Extra Usage is correctly configured and enabled for the Pro plan.
  • Check the OpenClaw configuration to verify that it is set up to use the Extra Usage balance for requests, rather than the main subscription limits.
  • Test the setup by running a request through OpenClaw and checking the usage logs to confirm that the Extra Usage balance is being decremented correctly.
  • If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Anthropic support again to investigate potential API-side attribution issues.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is more related to configuration and setup.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the interaction between Claude Code, OpenClaw, and the Anthropic API, and further investigation may be needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Verify the correct configuration of Extra Usage in the Claude Code settings and ensure that OpenClaw requests are properly routed to use the Extra Usage balance, as the issue may be related to a misconfiguration rather than a version-specific bug.
