I went from a sane claw to an insane claw and back to a sane claw 😊. I feel for both cron and Heartbeat, less is more. Just enough to help, and no more. Why not use Ollama as it is free on your machine and, no token cost?
This framing is sharp — heartbeat is exactly where "works once" setups turn into quiet burn. One practical fix that helped me: log each run with 5 fields (goal, tool calls, failure/recovery, what changed, next test) and review it weekly. It turns heartbeat from background cost into a reliability signal you can actually tune.

If useful, I share real OpenClaw run breakdowns in that exact format here: https://substack.com/@givinglab
