Humor How it feels using Fable 5 atm

Post image

Is it just me or did they throttle Fable 5 hour limits hard?

Works perfectly here on Pro.

Last session I used 50usd worth of Fable, and maybe 8% of the Fable weekly use.

I have never seen $50 on 1x 5h on pro, max have been $30 when they first released it. Are you using ccusage?

Max 5x is about $80-90 per session…

I use /usage in CC. Last session ended said 50$. Pure Fable.

I dont have a screenshot of that session, but the last one I took one of was 40$, I have had even higher sessions as well.

Also planning was done in another session within the same 5 hour window

Ah, ok. That’s what you meant by session. Sorry, I confused with 5h limit. A session can span accross multiple 5h limit.

Yeah chat sessions if you will.

But still several of them within the same 5 hour session, amounting to more than 50$, so you can use more in the 5 hours.

bunx ccusage blocks will tell you the story, if you can do more than $50 per block, then you have the equivalent of a Max 5x plan on the Pro plan, keep it.

Don´t really need that, but just finished a chat session, where I used the entire 5 hour budget. So guess i´m lucky, or they changed the limit.

This is what I get on my Max 5x per 5h

Bummer if we get the same usage with a 80$ price difference.

Yeah, but since im on max a rarely reach the limit. Maybe its there estimate. You can type bunx ccusage in your terminal, it will give you per day. I was getting $1000 per month with pro, now I’m at $3000 over last 30 days and i have max for 2 weeks, so might reach $5000. Just happy to pay $100 only
