They're in the wrong business then. They're selling peak automation software, with the sales pitch of 'have AI do your work while you sleep'.

Are they banning their core offering? Are Ralph' loops also banned for building software? Because I can drain my quota with a simple bash loop faster than any OpenClaw instance.

You most likely don’t pay per call for your cellphone.

You most likely don’t pay per machine to use the gym.

You don’t pay per cup if they allow unlimited refills.

You are not supposed to go into an all-you-can eat buffet and stuff steaks into your bag.

Sometimes not all of us want to do the math à la carte for every thing we use in life. Don’t ruin it for us.

The buffet analogy breaks down here. Using OpenClaw isn't stuffing steaks in your bag — you're eating the same food, in the same seat, consuming the same tokens your subscription allows. Google banned you because they didn't like the plate you brought. Then took your house key as punishment.

The steaks-in-bag analogy would apply if you were somehow extracting MORE than your quota. You're not. You're just routing the same tokens differently.
