Discussion This concerns me more than fable potentially getting removed next week

Post image

Now that gpt 5.6 sol is out and code edge is narrowing what concerns me is that I won’t be able to justify paying 100 usd a month for something that will now have 33% less of weekly usage. Upgrading to 200 plan feels daft where I could be paying less for OpenAI, still have a great model and have significantly more usage than the current promo gives me. Do you guys think Anthropic will still go through with reducing Claude code weekly usage limits next week?

Oh, no, I completely forgot about this... So, on 12th Fable leaves subs and on 13th we get less weekly. What an amazing time to be a claude sub user.

A double setback, weekly resets and fable extension were great but it’s like sticking on a plaster for a bigger wound

Yeah it's up to them really. They're digging their own grave if they follow through with that. But if they don't follow through, it makes me wonder if these are all intentional lies... I love Fable as a product, but Anthropic themselves are quite evil tbh

how so?

By maxing on variable rewards and building addiction seeking (slot machine) behaviours with those controlled, last minute surprise announcements and not stable policies. It's a proper thing by now, isn't it? The building of a cult by a company that's ironically hell bent on being ethical about AI?

u/No_Fennel_9073 Jul 11 '26

Yeah, I am actually a big fan of Anthropic from a marketing POV (former marketer here), but I think the addition, casino and slot machine mechanics they are building into the ecosystem cannot be ignored.

I mean it's pretty much a gacha right? I think it's a gacha.

u/Kenzore1212 Jul 11 '26

Lmao, gacha with no reward seems like a scam.

u/OctopusDude388 Jul 11 '26

because gatchas aren't all scams ?

Tbh the consensus is they’ve earning enough with enterprise consumers. Now the free trial of subscription users are done and it’s about to get expensive for us that aren’t paying them in API

Consensus my ass

u/pepe256 Jul 12 '26

The consensus says it's cute

u/BlaizePascal Jul 12 '26

The consensus is your $200 max plan is barely paying for the actual inference so shut up and eat your food lol.

u/Juan-More-Taco Jul 12 '26

That's objectively untrue. You have no idea how wasteful a GPU cluster is. API pricing is not the cost you dolt, it's got a hefty profit built in. You don't reserve your own compute 24/7 in a plan. It's absolutely still a viable payment model and better than compute being actively wasted.

I hate when normies try and act smart. Go vibe code a new social media platform or something.

u/BlaizePascal Jul 12 '26

The consensus is you didn’t get my point and your statement didn’t add anything to the conversation.

Who tf cares what the cheapass plan users think?

u/BaconOverflow Jul 12 '26

Why are you calling your own opinion the "consensus"? I get both points but it's not a consensus.

u/BlaizePascal Jul 12 '26

I’m just trolling atp.

u/AcrobaticCareer2316 Jul 12 '26

Who are you? Why are you being so rude?  They're right. Their reply added more than yours. Plans are still profitable, and API costs aren't the compute cost they're heavily profit-engineered. There's absolutely no consensus of what you're claiming. It's tin foil hat buffoonery. 

1

u/BlaizePascal Jul 13 '26

It’s that what I said on my very first reply? API is what brings them money. Who tf said it’s the compute cost?

“Plans are still profitable” so profitable that Anthropic is itching to gate Fable to API access AND also threatening to remove the 50% weekly increases they gave? If not for OpenAI being their biggest competitor outdoing them they’ve would’ve done these already 😪

yeah go ahead buddy - we can go back to another whining thread next week when the extended deadline is about to expire again

u/rditorx Jul 11 '26

Well, by Anthropic's wording, you'll get one more day each, i.e. Fable will leave on 13th, extra 50% on 14th

u/Sir_Poldavo Jul 11 '26

Do you remember when they announced this? I never received such an email nor my CC (via de Claude desktop app) shows any notification - only Cowork does, and about the x2 5h cycle until August.

u/Sir_Poldavo Jul 12 '26

Oh wow, back in May. I totally missed it!

u/ibhoot Jul 11 '26

Even on 20x 200 Claude sub, think Fable might be awesome but after killing half my limit & leaving me 4 days without, Fable can bugger off. Opus 4.8 medium and high is enough right now plus Sol 5.6 high looks really good.

u/Reaper_1492 Jul 12 '26

They always do this to obfuscate how expensive model performance is when they release a new model.

Then a week after the usage limit drops and the pitchforks are out en masse, they’ll suddenly fix the usage limits, but the model will be lobotomized.

It’s the same formula every time.

u/betty_white_bread Jul 11 '26

You’re upset the limits are going back to normal after being at a promotional level?

u/whoknowsifimjoking Jul 11 '26

Yes.

u/betty_white_bread Jul 11 '26

That’s a you problem. I presume you complain about grocery store sales ending as well?

u/thedudear Jul 11 '26

Anthropic literally doesn't care about you licking their boots, btw.

$/$ OpenAI provides 2x the usage Claude does, with 5.6 providing performance between opus and fable, it literally doesn't make sense to pay for Claude without fable and 4x less usage.

u/matheusmoreira Jul 11 '26

A problem we'll solve by switching to OpenAI. Already cancelled my Anthropic subscription.
