用 Claude 订阅令牌桥接 OpenClaw，替代 API Key 成本爆炸

社区给出从 API key 迁移到 VS Code 扩展订阅令牌的实操流程，目标是把个人开发成本从按量计费转为订阅封顶。步骤依赖版本和权限，迁移前需验证。

Prerequisites
  • VS Code + Claude Code extension installed, with active Claude Pro/Team subscription.
  • You have permission to edit OpenClaw model/auth config and restart gateway.
Steps
  1. Authenticate Claude Code extension account token in VS Code (`claude setup token`) and finish browser authorization.
  2. Back up current OpenClaw auth config, then remove legacy Anthropic API-key profile to avoid fallback conflicts.
  3. Re-add Anthropic model using subscription-token compatible setup path (instead of API key path).
  4. Restart gateway and run a real channel smoke test (e.g., Telegram round trip).
  5. Optionally set a stronger default model only after confirming stable token-based auth.
Commands
claude setup token
openclaw gateway status
openclaw gateway restart
Verify

Agent requests succeed without API-key billing path, and repeated test turns remain stable under subscription auth.

Caveats
  • Subscription plans still have usage caps/rate limits; this is cost-capping, not true unlimited.
  • CLI command names and auth UX may differ by extension/version（需验证）.
