Gemini API Access Disabled (403 ToS) After Using OpenClaw Agent — Appeal Pending

I had my Gemini and Cloud Code Assist API access disabled with a 403 Terms of Service violation error.

I was experimenting with OpenClaw, which connects via the Antigravity OAuth/Gemini CLI. Personal workflow automation — nothing commercial, no abuse. Just a developer exploring what’s possible.

I’ve already emailed gemini-code-assist-user-feedback@google.com, acknowledged the activity, committed to using official APIs going forward, and disabled the integration.

Questions: Typical appeal timeline? Additional escalation channels? Anyone else hit this with OpenClaw/Antigravity?

Is that why suddenly my Google Antigravity stopped working on my Pro AI account? I did recently deploy an instance of openclaw to give it a try and set it up to use my antigravity oauth.

同样的问题。我猜测是因为在openclaw中使用了gemini

Same problem.
Wrote to Google Cloud support, they said I need to contact Google One support, because its related to subscription.

Same here. Ultra subscriber and I have been completely cut off from programmatic access via the Google Antigravity and Gemini-CLI OAuth. I can still use gemini in a browser but I am not paying $250 a month for the chat and deep research. Really upset with all of this and the lack of support. Last month I also had a number of issues with the “Agent execution terminated due to error.” bug. If I pay for the premium and best plan, is it unreasonable to expect premium support?

Same issue, i mean, we are paying users, this is really lame, Anthropic has no issues when you do the very same thing with their subscription

People that have been using OAuth with third party services such as OpenCode or OpenClaw are being banned without warning because it’s against the ToS. But nobody seems to be able to tell if it’s a permaban or a temporary ban… :expressionless_face: If I get some update, I’ll post it here! Good luck everyone!

Someone on Reddit said his account has been restored… :crossed_fingers: https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1r2g7jw/comment/o5tk5ye/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I’ve got in touch with Google One support: long story short they’ve detected i’ve been sending an email to gemini-code-assist-user-feedback@google.com and they’ve asked me to wait for their answer. I’d suggest to send an email over explaining that we’ve made a mistake and pray for an answer.

Protip : be sure to revoke all antigravity access to cut Oauth tokens using this link : https://myaccount.google.com/connections and check for “Google Antigravity” then revoke all: it’ll avoid your existing OAuth links to try to potentially trigger more troubles.

If anybody got some interesting feedback related to these massive bans, please share here.

I am surprised to read that we cannot use our Google AI Ultra account with Openclaw because I contacted Google One support to ask if this was possible and allowed, and the answer was YES.

Here is the conversation in French that I had with support; I am removing the person’s name to avoid harming them, but if necessary I could provide the Google staff with the complete copy of this conversation.

05:12:05 Google Support: Votre forfait AI Ultra offre environ 2 000 requêtes par jour et un cycle 
d'actualisation de haute fréquence toutes les 5 heures.
05:12:09 Google Support: Assurez-vous qu'OpenClaw est configuré avec un délai d'attente exponentiel 
(logique de nouvelle tentative). Si vous rencontrez une erreur 429 (Trop de 
requêtes), ne tentez pas de nouvelle tentative forcée immédiatement, car 
les échecs répétés sont ce qui déclenche les indicateurs d'« abus ».
05:12:26 Google Support: Veuillez prendre votre temps pour lire. J'attendrai ici.
05:14:02 Antoine: D'accord donc il n'a pas de souci a utiliser openclaw avec mon compte Google AI Ultra, car j'ai pu lire des forum par lequel des utilisateurs ont été banni des services.
Et je ne peux pas me le permettre
05:14:57 Google Support: C'est exact.

The (human :wink: ) agent wasn’t probably aware of the fact that using API is OK but injecting an OAuth token in a third party tool is against the ToS.
I’m french too :wink:

Bonne chance !

Maybe this representative from Google could help us? Account Restricted Without WARNING– Google AI Ultra / OAuth via OpenClaw - #12 by K8L

Same here. I’ve been wrote email and didnt have a respon. Is there any solution?

Hi all,

We have heard your feedback regarding recent bans linked to third-party tool usage. We are currently rolling out a system-wide automated unban for all affected accounts. We appreciate your patience as we work to enhance the Antigravity experience.” #terms

So can we use Subscription with OpenClaw now?

I find answer on another topic
