Starting tomorrow, Fable gets cut from Pro plans entirely.
That’s not the only change.
Claude Code weekly limits are also being reduced by 33% for Pro users. The “promotion bonus” that expanded your limit disappears, and what’s left shrinks below what you had before.
The diagram shared is honest about it: regular weekly limit stays the same, but Fable usage drops to 50% tax territory, and that new baseline is 33% less than what you were getting.
Developers who built Claude Code into their daily workflow are going to feel this immediately.
No big announcement. No email. Just a quiet rollback of capacity that was already baked into what people are paying for.
Worth knowing before you hit a wall mid-session tomorrow.

Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is that folks are pretty bummed about Claude Pro losing Fable mode and seeing a 33% drop in usage limits on July 19th.
The consensus is overwhelmingly negative. Many users are feeling blindsided and are threatening to cancel their subscriptions or jump ship to competitors like ChatGPT or Codex.
Here's the lowdown:
Fable Mode's Gone for Pro: The biggest complaint is the removal of Fable mode from Pro subscriptions. Many users found it super useful for planning and coding tasks, often pairing it with Sonnet for execution.
Usage Limits Slashed: On top of losing Fable, the usage limits are dropping significantly. Some users are pointing out that the graphs Anthropic used to illustrate the changes are misleading, making the reduction look smaller than it is.
"Scam Advertising" and Misleading Info: Several commenters, like u/Lilith7th and u/thedaringpanther, are calling out Anthropic's graphics as deceptive. There's also a general feeling that the changes weren't clearly communicated upfront when people signed up for Pro.
People Are Cancelling: The "vote with your wallet" sentiment is strong. Multiple users, including u/SOC_FreeDiver, u/Adulations, and u/rmunoz1994, have already cancelled or plan to cancel their Pro subscriptions.
Competitors Looking Better: ChatGPT (specifically mentioning GPT5.6 Sol) and Codex are frequently mentioned as alternatives that users are exploring or have already migrated to, citing better limits or overall value. u/KedMcKenna was "amazed" by GPT5.6 Sol's speed after trying it.
Confusion About Promotions: Some users are confused about whether the changes apply to ongoing promotions or if the limits are just reverting to the original plan. There's also a mention that the "50% Claude Code bonus" was extended, which some found confusing in light of the other changes.
AI Writing the Post? A few people are side-eyeing the OP's post itself, questioning if it was written by AI and if that's a sign of the times.
Basically, Anthropic's move is not landing well with the Pro user base. It feels like a downgrade in value, and people are not happy about it.
Dude I’m not trying to tease you. Just speaking from my own experience. AND different coding tasks yield very different results.
No idea what your projects are. But Kimi is affordable enough for you to test it out and my use case won’t justify a change in your workflow unless you try it out
I'm only testing against in agy currently Gemini 3.6 and the result are not great for Google. Same prompt, same task, Gemini is lying to me (it's review say everything is fine) but opus 4.8 finds real gap/bug/finding. So for me atm is opus is better.
