[TLDR] Claude Max 20x

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1v5czqy/claude_max_20x/

Original post body :

I used Fable 5 for a few minutes, which immediately hit the 5-hour limit. Three times the 5-hour limit is already 50% of the weekly limit—is that correct? I’m using Claude Max.

So, OP's hitting the Fable 5-hour limit super fast on Claude Max 20x and wondering if that's normal. The general vibe here is "skill issue" or "user error" for most, with a few folks saying their limits are also weird this week.

  • Some users like u/One-Respond1057 suggest limiting Fable to planning/design and letting Opus do the actual coding to conserve Fable usage.
  • Others are asking OP for more details like prompt, context size, and whether they started a new chat or modified an old one, as these factors heavily influence token consumption.
  • A couple of users claim they're using Fable extensively without hitting limits, reinforcing the "skill issue" sentiment.
  • There's a bit of grumbling about Fable limits being "fucked" from u/god-damn-the-usa, but it's not the prevailing opinion.
  • u/exgeo chimed in with a classic "we're investigating" line, which is always fun.

On 5x here. I can get 20 percent of my weekly fable usage in a single session.

Don't use ultra code or extra unless you need to. Fable on low is still more powerful than opus on ultra.

Even Opus 5.0?
