Connectivity with OpenClaw

I have been trying to use the R1 regularly in combination with my local instance of OpenClaw. The challenge is that nearly half the times, the R1 gets stuck on a spinner after I submit my PTT request.

When diagnosing, the issue seems to be always the same:

  1. rabbit-agent is running
  2. OpenClaw CLI is ok
  3. The gateway is healthy
  4. There is an open ACP session but it’s idle.

The R1 connected, did the initial handshake, but no actual prompts are coming through from Rabbit’s cloud.

Am I doing anything wrong?

EDIT: I created a small skill for OpenClaw to diagnose issues with R1 connectivity btw ( GitHub - GrewingM/r1-triage · GitHub )
