Cowork VM creates new OAuth token on every session (token accumulation)
증상
The Claude Cowork desktop app mints a new OAuth token every time a Cowork session starts, causing unbounded token accumulation in Settings -> Claude Code -> Authorization Tokens. After ~5 weeks of normal use: 40+ tokens, no bulk-revoke, broken UI.
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
예상 토큰 절약
이 에러로 삽질 시: 약 5,000~15,000 토큰 소비 이 해결법 참조 시: 약 500 토큰
