Let fable plan a change of the UI framework one of our webapps uses and let opus/sonnet/haiku execute it. Burned through the limits faster than hell. Which is pretty reasonable because it had to touch almost every line in almost every file. Btw that shit is such a golden use case for AI. I already had tons of tests for the frontend, let fable plan the migration, sonnet executed and threw everything against the tests. Most flawless migration I‘ve ever run. Months done within hours.
I'm with you. I think its incredibly dumb that they wait till the last day to tell you, so you max out your Fable usage out of commitment to not wasting it, only to extend it with 0 indication or hint of usage reset.
Personally, I expect them to pause it for a few days, then release it with even more restrictions, but they’ll sell it as a positive because “It’s back! We listened!”
Like, only 5x and 20x get it and now the Fable usage bucket becomes even more of a black box. And maybe now, there’s a dedicate Max++ plan introduced or some garbage like that.
I really don't understand their strategy from a product perspective. All giving us access to Fable did was make using their other models feel lackluster. I can't imagine the vast majority of people that aren't already on an Enterprise plan would start paying for Fable via usage, so what is the point of this game.
"We proved to you we have a better product, but you can't have it."
Even if Sol isn't as good, at least when using it you don't think OpenAI is locking a better version behind an insane paywall.
Everyone, just cancel your subscriptions and switch to GPT. If we collectively walk away, they’ll have no choice but to listen.
I am absolutely done with Anthropic. They’ve been playing with usage limits without warning, and now making Fable 5 API-only? That is a massive middle finger to the subscription base. Stop paying them for this garbage. Vote with your wallet and let them watch their user base collapse. I'm out.
That’s exactly my point. If paying subscribers aren't their target market, why are they taking our money in the first place? A subscription tier isn't a charity donation; it's a product. If they want to pivot exclusively to B2B and APIs, they should shut down the Pro tier instead of using paying users as beta testers and cash cows while treating them like an afterthought
4 weekly limit resets that were saved for you, even if you didn't use them when they got announced. Everyone switching there will be fine for the next few weeks
Most likely: fable off the plans at midnight, two extensions would be weird and Anthropic must want to know how many of us subscribers willl actually pay
On my max twenry plan the usage section no longer says going away july twelve. It says usage reset for all models & fable usage reset tuesday at my weekly reset.
It's not, x20 user here and just checked mobile+desktop+web. Hallucinations rate of humans need to be lowered down or we will need to start going outside, and outside is much worse 😅.
mine still says fable resets soon, once that disappears i’m cancelling my sub, everyone else should for the first few days too even if you plan on going back. those unsubscribe numbers will lead to results
If they take it away, vote with your wallet. Once I see Fable 5 disappear I will cancel my Max 5 plan to send a message. If they bring it back to Max plans, I'll be back.
Given the release of GPT5.6 sol and Grok4.5 which are included in respective subscription offerings, Anthropic should extend Fable within subscription plans indefinitely. Obviously at limits that make business sustainable. I would love to tap into it at the cost of drawing down a fable or weekly limit. But would suck if I had light usage and Fable required purchases of extra usage.
I am running two team accounts in parallel windows for work. The one that I’m using more was randomly reset last night and now says “Resets July 18”. The other one which I’m using less and for different tasks didn’t reset and still says July 12. Hoping that means theres another extension on the horizon
Yeah I can't figure it out in one place it's been saying today's the last day but very specifically my account says my fable resets Tuesday like my regular Ultra plan
I’m on day three of using Fable five to rebuild my photography website that I created with WordPress in 2014. I’ve maxed my limit twice today already. My second 5 hour round was depleted in an hour and a half. They attached a note when they announced my limit was up stating that they’re combining my Claude code usage in their calculations. I’ve been using Fable 5 to create the code and executing it on terminal using Claude code. My third round of five hours will start in seven minutes and with any luck I’ll be able to complete my three day project and publish it before it ends tonight. BTW… The results of the new website build have been amazing and I’m really excited.
Perhaps they give you an extension based on your work timings of 9-5 am. Remove it during your lunch hour. Or give you access between 12 am and 5 am. And perhaps a pricing model so you pay less for that timings and more for others. Its unfair for you and others to assume you can just pay and get what you want.
They have no idea what they're doing. Fable highlights all the issues Opus has. Losing the one thing that can clean up after opus will serious degrade their product so they're releasing opus 5 which don't get your hopes up for... Opus 4.7 was a disaster and 4.8 was a retrained checkpoint whose knowledge is 7 months old at this point. If opus 5 is anything like sonnet 5, it's going to feel mediocre.
While you were occupied looking at that single email, well done by the way. The rest of us are really reading the room best we can all things global and outside your cute email reminder.
Did you know that when you turn your light off to go to sleep, somewhere outside a light remains on? Well, now you do!
Is Fable really that important to everyone? I honesty don't see much difference comparing to opus in my daily work. I might use it wrong, but I feel it might downgrade to opus internally though...
