What breaks without openclaw token optimization

Inflated token counts. Unnecessary context. Runaway API costs.

Lower LLM costs × token reduction middleware ÷ 20-minute integration ÷ no quality loss = same outputs at lower spend.

Troubleshooting openclaw token optimization

1
1. Setting token limit too low — causes truncated context and poor responses\n2. Compressing system prompt — never compress the system prompt, only history\n3. Caching responses for semantically similar but distinct queries — leads to wrong answers
