Heartbeat Triggers Every Hour

✅Solved

Noticed even with heartbeat disabled I’m still getting pinged every hour in telegram about a heartbeat check.

Some digging uncovered this. Does that sound right or a red herring?

Found it! 🔍

There's an instruction in AGENTS.md:

"When you receive a HEARTBEAT message, don't just reply HEARTBEAT_OK every time. Use heartbeats productively!"


This is being interpreted as "check heartbeat status periodically" — probably by the memory-summary LaunchAgent running every 30 minutes.

To stop it:

1. Option 1: Remove or comment out the heartbeat instruction in AGENTS.md:
sed -i '' /Users/office/clawd/AGENTS.md

2. Option 2: Stop the memory-summary LaunchAgent:
launchctl remove com.clawdbot.memory-summary

3. Option 3: Modify memory-summary to not trigger HEARTBEAT checks
Which would you prefer?

Solution

# Delete the heartbeat state file to reset the cycle
rm /Users/office/clawd/memory/heartbeat-state.json

# Restart gateway to kill any lingering sessions
clawdbot gateway restart

# Delete the heartbeat state file to reset the cycle
rm /Users/office/clawd/memory/heartbeat-state.json

# Restart gateway to kill any lingering sessions
clawdbot gateway restart

If a session reappears after restart, there's a start-up hook or config that's auto-creating it. Let me know what
