I doubt an AI would be stupid enough to write code like that without being explicitly prompted to do so. It's so... specific.

That specific nature would mean it would get caught by even the most cursory of code reviews.

Even if I was just "scanning my eyeballs over the code" without properly reading it, this would jump out as very odd and make me pause.

They've said publicly that they don't want apps like OpenClaw (Hermes is a variation) being used with a monthly plan vs per-token billing. The problem is this was implemented pretty badly (trying to regex??). And they should put a firm boundary between the two. It shouldn't be trying to switch over to a different billing plan automatically using the same api key.

I think they wanted to try not to totally lock down the monthly plan for non-agent uses, but that makes it all too fuzzy. They should use some specific method like encrypted signatures or something, so that anything sending to the monthly plan that isn't Claude Code or the desktop Claude app just errors out and be done with it.
