Step 1: Remove the API key profile

# Check what profiles exist
openclaw models status

His status showed profiles=2 (oauth=0, token=1, api_key=1). He needs to remove the API key so it doesn't interfere:

# Edit the auth profiles directly
nano ~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json

Delete the anthropic:default (api_key) entry, keep only the anthropic:manual (token) entry.

Step 2: If the setup-token has expired, re-generate it

claude setup-token

Then paste it:

openclaw models auth setup-token --provider anthropic

Step 3: Set auth order to only use the token

openclaw models auth order set --provider anthropic anthropic:manual

Step 4: Verify

openclaw models status

Should show profiles=1 (token=1) with status static.

Step 5: Restart gateway

pkill -9 -f openclaw-gateway || true; nohup openclaw gateway run --bind loopback --port 18789 --force > /tmp/openclaw-gateway.log 2>&1 &
