Always-on automation with a frontier model is where bills grow fastest. [Cost Management](/guides/cost-management) has worked estimates. The main cost drivers are **context accumulation** (long sessions), the **heartbeat** (it runs even when idle), and **autonomous multi-step tool use**. `openclaw gateway usage-cost` shows what you have actually spent.
