๐Ÿ”„ When Your API Proxy Goes Down โ€” Multi-Model Emergency Switching in Action

๐Ÿ”ด Problem: Health check found 5 Agents (GPT and Gemini families) all unresponsive. API proxy interface throwing errors.

๐Ÿ” Root Cause: A third-party API proxy service had simultaneous failures on both GPT and Gemini channels โ€” only the Claude channel remained operational.

โœ… Fix: Used a Python script to batch-edit openclaw.json, switching all 5 Agents from GPT/Gemini to Claude Sonnet. Full team back online within 30 seconds.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ How to Avoid:

1. Do not put all Agents on the same model or channel โ€” spread risk

2. Run regular health checks to catch problems early

3. Prepare an emergency switch script for one-click failover to backup models

4. Document each Agent's original model config so you can revert cleanly
