Account Restricted Without WARNING– Google AI Ultra / OAuth via OpenClaw

Did they restore your account, or not yet? I was thinking of using Antigravity with OpenClaw to manage my projects, but it seems I need refrain from this.

Use pay as you use API please.

Using Opencode, Openclaw or other 3rd party tools with your Antigravity oAuth login is against their t&c.

If you want to use them, use the API. Anthrop!c is doing the same thing.

I get that everyone is a vibe coder but just because something says ‘login with Antigravity oAuth’ in an app you downloaded from Github, created by an anonymous person, doesn’t mean it’s ‘right’.

Read the T&C, see what you can/can’t do based upon the T&C you accepted and make your own decisions.

If you are not 100% sure, use the API.

I was in the same boat and wanted to ‘optimize’ my token usage, but after reading the T&C, I decided against it, because my google account is tied to…well..everything.

1. Diagnóstico del Bloqueo: ¿Por qué OpenClaw?

Aunque las herramientas de terceros son útiles, muchas veces no implementan correctamente los scopes de OAuth o realizan llamadas de telemetría que el sistema de seguridad de Google detecta como “Actividad Sospechosa” o “Potential Scraping”.

  • El Escenario: Al conectar un modelo de alta capacidad (Ultra) a través de un wrapper externo, el sistema puede interpretar que se están intentando extraer pesos del modelo o realizar un uso abusivo de la tasa de transferencia (Rate Limits).

2. Pasos de Recuperación (Sin pagar soporte extra)

No necesitas pagar el soporte de GCC (Google Cloud Customer) inmediatamente. Como usuario de una suscripción de alto valor, tienes otras vías:

  • Revisión de la Consola de Google Cloud (GCP): Aunque uses AI Studio, tu facturación y cuotas suelen estar ligadas a un proyecto de GCP. Ve a IAM & Admin > Quotas. A veces, allí aparece un botón de “Request Increase” o un aviso de “Policy Violation” con un enlace directo a un formulario de apelación que tiene prioridad sobre el correo estándar.

  • El Formulario de Apelación de OAuth: Si el problema fue la conexión de OpenClaw, busca en tu correo (incluyendo Spam) un mensaje sobre “Project Suspension”. Ese correo suele contener un enlace a un formulario de “Appeals” específico para desarrolladores. Úsalo detallando que eres un usuario de pago y que la integración fue para uso personal de desarrollo.

3. Pro-Tip: El “Clean Slate”

Una vez que recuperes el acceso (y lo harás, solo toma tiempo de revisión humana), te recomiendo seguir este S.O.P. de Seguridad:

  1. Revocar todos los tokens de terceros: Limpia los accesos en tu cuenta de Google (Seguridad > Aplicaciones de terceros).

  2. Uso de API Keys con Restricción: En lugar de OAuth completo para herramientas experimentales, genera una API Key en Google AI Studio y restringe su uso por IP si es posible. Es mucho menos probable que esto bloquee la cuenta completa.

Hi,
As it seems,
I’m facing the same issue and contacted both support and the gemini-code-assist-user-feedback@google.com

but no response…
Can someone from Google please address the issues?

Thank you.

A lot of people didn’t read the term of service :sweat_smile:

Same thing happened to me a couple of days ago. Access to Gemini-CLI - blocked, access to Antigravity - blocked. No other services were affected.

I was on the AI-Ultra subscription at the time, yes, $250/month one. No warnings, no official communication, just 403 in the API calls.

To ppl claiming it’s against the TOS! It was NOT in the TOS until google started banning access.

I contacted Google-One support, since the monetary relationship is with them. They told me the funniest thing: legally speaking I was paying for storage (30 TiB), NOT for AI or youtube premium, those were just free perks of the fat storage plan. Hence - no refunds on storage plans. Luckily the support person was extremely helpful and did a courtesy refund.

I immediately cancelled Ultra and started paying for OpenAI-Pro plan ($200) which EXPLICITLY ALLOWS using their endpoint with OpenCode.ai (which is/was the case with me, I wasn’t using it for OpenClaw). BTW, OpenAI has made it clear they are ok even with OpenClaw access.

Google is “Modified by moderator” their loyal audience and they don’t care. Sad! ™

Which reminds me of another Google-one related incident: one of my credit cards expired and I forgot to update the number with google-pay, so the payment to google-one didn’t go through. In addition to 2-TiB plan, I had a YouTube-premium add on. When I paid, my storage plan was restored immediately, but Youtube-premium wasn’t. I spent a month talking to Google One and Youtube support. Both gave me a run-around, and I still, after several months, am getting emails that my support case is very important to google. Nothing was resolved until the next month’s payment went through, and I got Youtube-premium back. So effectively they just stole one month of paid Youtube-premium from me. And nobody cares.

Nah, still blocked and haven’t gotten any response from Google yet either

I agree. Paying customers blocked with no warning and completely ignore any attempts to resolve.

I was also subject to an account restriction without any prior notice or warning. I understand that a service may have Terms of Use or internal policies, and that such rules—whether formally stated or operational—deserve to be respected for the service to function properly.

That said, I don’t think it’s entirely fair to reduce this to “users should have read the terms more carefully.” In reality, terms are often long and difficult to absorb in full, and policies that can directly lead to significant consequences—such as account restrictions—are especially important to communicate in a clear, prominent, and user-friendly way.

More importantly, for paying customers, it seems reasonable to expect at least a minimal level of advance notice and an opportunity to correct behavior before a restriction is imposed. If using third-party tools for login or automation is considered a violation, it would be far more respectful and constructive to clearly explain what specific behavior is not allowed, why it is problematic, and what steps a user should take to comply—before moving straight to a ban or restriction. This kind of approach improves predictability for users and helps prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.

With that in mind, I would appreciate clarification on the specific reason for this restriction (including the relevant policy/terms section), as well as the conditions and process required to restore my account or avoid recurrence. I would also encourage implementing clearer advance warnings (e.g., guidance or a notice) and a transparent appeals process for similar cases in the future.

@Jan_S and others assuming this is just an OpenClaw T&C issue: you are missing the massive flaw in Google’s system. Their automated security bot is completely broken and is aggressively shadowbanning legitimate, paying users who strictly follow the rules.

I have NEVER used OpenClaw, OpenCode, or any third-party API bullshit. I pay €144.99/month for an Antigravity Ultra subscription and use the official, native IDE extension.

My setup:

  • 4 work machines (3 PCs, 1 MacBook).

  • Strictly sequential use. I use ONE machine at a time.

  • Zero overlapping sessions.

Because my hardware ID changes when I switch desks at the office, their paranoid automated system assumes I am running some kind of token farm and instantly shadowbans me. I am currently hard-blocked from a tool I pay a premium for, getting this exact error: “There was an unexpected issue setting up your account. Please try again later.”

The most absurd part? This exact same false flag happened to me earlier this month. After fighting with support, a human engineer finally reviewed my connection logs, confirmed I wasn’t breaking a single rule, and unbanned me. Now, the bot has banned me AGAIN for the exact same native multi-device usage.

To make it worse, frontline support is completely useless. Instead of escalating the backend account lock, they are sending me copy-paste FAQs telling me to verify my age and clear my cache.

Google needs to fix their broken backend bot instead of punishing paying developers who are literally just doing their jobs.

Hi! Same issue here? Who did you contacted to lift your ban?

I can’t send emails here they block me if i show you the list of emails i send.. Go to google support page and open a case there. I’m still waiting more than 24h now for them to actaully allow me to use Antigravity that I’m paying for. Beyond frustrated.

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve already followed those steps, and the support team directed me to contact Gemini via email. Unfortunately, I haven’t received a response in over a week. Just to clarify, were you reaching out through Google One support?

I reached to google one support and antigravity support i found emails online, this forum is not allowing me to post emails i contacted so you have to search them online.

exactly the same blocking scenario from my side. …

I’m in the same situation, please I need help.

Are you locked out of your entire google account (gmail, drive, 2fa authenticator, etc) or is it just your AI-related products? I quickly scanned the thread and didn’t see any reference to this, but apologies if I overlooked and this has already been addressed. I’m not on Ultra, but i do pay for Pro and i would be if I got locked out of my entire google account for connecting to openclaw via gemini CLI oauth. i’m willing to roll the dice if its just the $20/month AI access. gemini is incredible but there are so many good providers/models right now its hard to even keep up.
