Fix clw-prompt-exhausted: Resolve Prompt Token Limit Exhaustion

The clw-prompt-exhausted error occurs in OpenClaw when the maximum allowed prompt tokens have been consumed during a single operation or within a billing period. This resource exhaustion typically manifests when processing large files, running complex multi-step tasks, or attempting to execute commands that exceed configured token budgets. Understanding the underlying mechanics of prompt consumption and implementing proper management strategies is essential for maintaining productive workflows in OpenClaw environments.

1. Symptoms

When the clw-llm-exhausted error occurs during OpenClaw workflow execution, you will observe a distinctive set of symptoms that indicate token quota depletion in your language model integration. The workflow typically halts mid-execution, and the CLI outputs a truncated response that abruptly terminates without completing the expected output generation.

The primary indicator manifests in the terminal as a red-highlighted error message containing the error code clw-llm-exhausted followed by a technical description referencing maximum token limits. You may also notice that subsequent workflow stages fail to execute, as the dependency chain breaks when the LLM call does not return valid JSON or structured data as expected.
