Running OpenClaw with Anthrophic API and it burned through ~USD 50 in one day.

What are other OpenClaw users seeing? Anyone found effective ways to cut costs (model tiering, caching, etc.)?

I found it far too expensive for Anthropic. Entire context of every conversation is sent each time you type anything. Switched to a local model running from Ollama. Not quite as smart as opus, but good enough for my needs.

Does it not use prompt caching?
