Auth mode silently switched from OAuth to API key without user action
증상
The gateway’s auth mode for openai/gpt-5-chat-latest silently switched from OAuth (ChatGPT Plus subscription) to API key mode without any user action. This caused API quota to be consumed unexpectedly, leading to the agent becoming unresponsive.
원인
Authentication credential mismatch, expiry, or permission scope gap between the requesting agent and the target API.
해결법
- API 키 유효성/만료 확인
- OAuth 토큰 갱신: refresh token 사용
- 환경변수 확인: .env 파일 설정 검증
- 캐시된 인증 정보 삭제:
~/.openclaw/credentials.json제거 후 재인증 - IP 화이트리스트/스코프 확인
