Description

After updating to 2026.2.17, Anthropic API calls fail with an OAuth authentication error.

Error Message

All models failed (2): 
- anthropic/claude-opus-4-5: HTTP 401 authentication_error: OAuth authentication is currently not supported. (request_id: req_011CYEu9hisFbL1Qq7VF3tDn) (auth)
- anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514: No available auth profile for anthropic (all in cooldown or unavailable). (rate_limit)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Update to openclaw@2026.2.17
  2. Send any message that triggers an Anthropic API call
  3. Auth fails immediately

Workaround

Rollback to 2026.2.15:

openclaw gateway stop
npm install -g openclaw@2026.2.15
openclaw gateway install && openclaw gateway start

Environment

  • OpenClaw: 2026.2.17 (broken), 2026.2.15 (working)
  • OS: macOS (arm64)
  • Node: v22.22.0

Notes

The error suggests the new version is sending OAuth-style auth headers instead of the standard bearer token format that Anthropic expects.
