Google has temporarily suspended access to its Antigravity model for a number of users after detecting a spike in what it described as “malicious usage” tied to third‑party agent tools such as OpenClaw. The enforcement affected both regular paid subscribers and higher‑tier customers who had linked their Google AI accounts to external agent frameworks.
Affected users began encountering ‘403 PERMISSION_DENIED” errors and a message stating Antigravity access was disabled for violating Google’s Terms of Service. Reports of abrupt lockouts surfaced on Reddit and Google support forums in mid‑February, with many users saying they received no advance warning and little guidance on how to appeal.
Google said the move was necessary to stop abusive activity that was degrading service quality for legitimate customers. The company targeted accounts that appeared to be using Antigravity in ways it did not intend and said some users might regain access after review. Google did not immediately provide a public timeline for restoring service to affected accounts.
Third‑party developers reacted quickly. The creator of OpenClaw called Google’s action strict and announced plans to remove Antigravity support from the tool to protect users from further disruptions. Other developers and community members recommended switching from OAuth account linking to API keys or moving to alternative model providers to reduce the risk of sudden lockouts.
Community troubleshooting threads advised users who see the “disabled for violation” notice to check whether they had exposed Antigravity OAuth tokens through agent frameworks and to stop using those integrations until the issue is resolved. Users who believe they were blocked in error are encouraged to contact Google support and provide details about how they used the service.
