I can “buy extra usage” for “up to 30% off” right now, but no free credits to be claimed on profile dashboard at the moment.
Did you have extra usage enabled before checking? Mine was disabled and I received the $20 credit.

#12Why is this company so desperate? Are they running out of cash?

#13> Your credit expires 90 days after the date you claim it. I am guessing the vast majority of eligible credit will not be claimed or expire unspent. Worth mentioning that normal credit expires after 12 months too, use it or lose it.
At least for european consumers the 12 month limit is probably illegal, as it is equivalent to cash and probably also needs to be refundable (similar to prepaid phone cards).

No, they’re being eaten alive by Openclaw usage and need more people on metered billing as opposed to subscription.
EDIT: I guess that means they are indeed running out of cash.

Sales tax is charged at the "top up" point - guessing that renders the cash into non-refundable disney dollars that vanish to the balance sheet after 1 year and 1 nano second.

#16TBH, it looks to me as a trick to enable extra usage by baiting me with $20 credit by toggling on the feature that lets me burn another $20 without realizing it. Toggling it again to turn it off immediately after (which I assume most people will miss) seems to guard against this.
Auto-reload is off by default, is it not?
As in, what you're toggling on is "use my extra usage balance" not "automatically spend money by adding to my extra usage balance".

My interpretation: they're kicking the OpenClaw, OpenCode, etc. users off and telling them they can use extra usage for third-party tools, and they're softening the blow by offering free and discounted usage, and they're offering it to everyone else too to avoid the appearance of unfairness.

By contrast, OpenAI simply multiplied your subscription usage by 0.5x for the past month. For all the shit they’re rightfully getting, Codex is so nice it’s actually weird .
And you can also use the long context version on their cheaper plans, where as with Anthropic it's only available to enterprise and Max customers

Yes, I did have it enabled. Though the terms say you "must have it enabled", not "must not have had it enabled". Perhaps there is a roll-out difference.

It eats more tokens than before, but is still more token efficient than Claude Code.
