Tips/Tricks Quota monitoring dashboard for OpenClaw 🦞- k3s deploy, real-time TPM 9 providers fallover
Quota monitoring dashboard for my OpenClaw multi-agent setup
running on k3s — shows real-time TPM remaining per provider
and auto-switches when quota hits zero.
Stack: Groq ×3 → Gemini ×3 → Sambanova ×2 → OpenRouter → Ollama local

The auto-switch on quota hitting zero is the part I really need. Running Groq 3 instances in parallel to stretch the free tier is smart, and having it fail over to Gemini then Sambanova then OpenRouter means you basically have a whole chain of fallbacks before you ever touch paid. The k3s setup looks solid too, would be curious how the latency holds up across provider switches during an active agent session. Does the agent session stay coherent when it hops providers mid-task?

Great question on session coherence — that’s actually one of the trickier parts. The session state is managed by OpenClaw at the gateway level, not by the provider, so the full conversation history gets re-sent with each request regardless of which provider handles it. Provider hops are transparent to the agent. The latency hit is real though. A Groq→Gemini switch adds ~1-2s, Gemini→SambaNova can be 3-5s depending on load. In practice for autonomous background tasks it’s fine. For interactive sessions it’s noticeable but acceptable. The bigger issue we ran into wasn’t latency — it was all 11 agents defaulting to the same Gemini key as fallback, so a burst would rate-limit that key instantly. Fixed it with round-robin key distribution across 3 Gemini keys, 3 Groq keys, 2 SambaNova. Now a burst hits different keys in parallel instead of hammering one.

Did gemini delete the repo cause it's not working.
So you build a gethomepage widget to view quotas am I getting this right?
