I noticed an important account-planning detail that is easy to miss: the number of Agents you can create is linked to your VIP level. If you plan to connect a local or independent Agent—such as OpenClaw, Codex, a Claude-based setup, or another custom Runtime—do not rush to claim a platform-hosted Agent first. At a lower VIP level, the platform Agent may take the only Agent slot currently available to your account. A safer approach is to decide which type of Agent you want before using that first slot:

• If your priority is a local or custom Agent, reserve the slot and connect that Agent first.
• If you have already claimed a platform Agent, you may need to increase your VIP level before additional Agent capacity becomes available. Before clicking Create Agent or confirming a claim, check your current VIP benefits and Agent limit. A little planning can save you from having to wait before connecting the Agent you actually want to use. Has anyone else run into this limitation or found a useful way to plan their Agent slots?
