Paid Google AI plan subscribers who accessed the Google Gemini model via OpenClaw have had their accounts suspended one after another for violating the terms of service.



Users of Google's paid AI plans have been reporting restrictions on their Google AI accounts after connecting to Gemini models via

OpenClaw , an open framework for running large language models (LLMs) as agents. The original post on the Google AI Developers Forum claimed that a user with a Google AI Ultra plan (¥36,400 per month) was restricted without warning after using OpenClaw's OAuth integration.

In the initial forum post, the poster explained that 'the only recent workflow change I made was passing an OAuth token to OpenClaw to connect to the Gemini model,' and claimed that despite having a monthly subscription of 36,400 yen, I received no prior notice or explanation of the violation. In response, a Google representative replied on the forum that they would share the information with their internal team and investigate, but subsequent comments included 'I never got a response from support' and 'I was passed around from one person to another.'



Additionally, a user shared a support response they received stating that 'using OpenClaw credentials to access Google Antigravity servers for non-Antigravity products' violated Google's Terms of Service and was unable to be restored due to a zero-tolerance policy. The post explained that 'this outage affects access to the Antigravity service as well as other services that use the Gemini CLI and Cloud Code Private API.'

There have also been reports of accounts being banned on X (formerly Twitter) for accessing Gemini, which runs on Google Antigravity, using OpenClaw.



'I'm having the same issue. I'm a paid Google Antigravity Pro subscriber, but I'm getting the error 'Cloud Code Assist API Error (403): Gemini has been disabled for this account due to a violation of the Terms of Service.' No prior warning or explanation whatsoever. I have no idea which terms I've violated.'



“These are my tokens, and I paid for them. If you want to stop me from paying 36,400 yen a month to use my tokens on OpenClaw, I will pay the same amount to OpenAI, MiniMax, MoonShot, and Zai.org. They will do it for you.”



However, Google is not the only company with similar terms of service. For example, Anthropic revised its consumer terms of service on February 20, 2026, stating that OAuth tokens for Claude's free and paid individual plans are only permitted on Claude Code and Claude.ai, and that their use elsewhere, including OpenClaw, is a violation of the terms of service. However, since Anthropic prohibited 'unauthorized access by third parties' as of February 2024, some argue that OpenClaw's use of users' OAuth tokens was strictly prohibited from the beginning.

Peter Steinberger, developer of OpenClaw, commented on X, 'Google's response is pretty harsh. If you use Antigravity, be careful. I'm going to remove support. Anthropic notified me and politely explained the problem. Google just... bans them?'
