Cloud VM Periodic Token Deduction (0.6%) — Billed as "Claw - Cloud VM" Instead of Agent Conversation

**Version:** OpenClaw 2026.4.14, kimi-claw plugin, Cloud VM deployment

**Issue:**

  • User token usage detail shows total consumption of 3.31%
  • One deduction of **0.6%** is labeled as **“Claw - Cloud VM”**, timestamped 2026-05-25 16:02:21
  • In the same time period, agent conversation deductions are only ~0.01% per entry, totaling far below 0.6%
  • This deduction occurs at **fixed intervals** and from an **independent source**, suggesting a periodic background process or plugin on the Cloud VM side

**Troubleshooting Done:**

  • Heartbeat interval changed to once per year (8760h)
  • Cron jobs are empty
  • Non-essential plugins are disabled
  • However, the token detail explicitly shows the billing source as “Cloud VM”, confirming there is still independent token consumption on the Cloud VM side

**Request:**

Please investigate the Cloud VM token consumption sources (gateway / plugins / background tasks) and confirm whether there is a periodic heavy operation or billing label anomaly. I have retained screenshots as evidence.
