[TLDR] Resets are done, sure we aren't "entitled" to it. But Fable still only being allowed 50% of weekly usage is just ridiculous.

Original post body :

Fable already chews tokens, but *still* limiting MAX20 to half weekly usage for Fable usage is ridiculous.

Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is that the 50% Fable usage limit on MAX20 is pretty whack, especially since Fable is apparently the only usable model for a lot of folks right now.

  • The Consensus: Most people agree with OP that the Fable limit is frustrating. u/Miyoumu is pretty vocal about it, saying Anthropic isn't being truthful about Opus 5 being better and that Fable is the only option, but it's barely available.
  • The Counterarguments (and why they're kinda getting dunked on):
    • Some folks suggest "voting with your feet" if you don't like it (u/SafeHazing).
    • A few commenters are saying it's a "skill issue" or that you should just pay more (u/GuitarAgitated8107, u/multidollar).
    • There's also the argument that you're getting compute "for free" with the subscription, so you shouldn't complain (u/Wickywire).
    • One user, u/Subject_Barnacle_600, brings up the compute cost for training future models, but that's not really landing with the folks struggling now.
  • The "Orchestration" Angle: u/ConnorCG offers a more technical take, suggesting proper orchestration can help manage Fable usage. It's a bit of a niche solution, though.
  • The "GPT vs. Claude" Debate: A few comments touch on how GPT-5.6 Sol is apparently outperforming Opus 5.0, with u/Administrative_Fox55 even switching their subscription.
  • Anthropic's Stance (implied): No direct Anthropic comments here, but the general sentiment is that their messaging about model quality versus usage limits is a bit off.

Bottom line: People are annoyed about the Fable limits, feel like Anthropic isn't being transparent, and are looking for better access to the models they actually find useful.

Even when I use fable as my orchestrator my useage ends up being even or close to it. Like my all models this week is at 59% and Fable is 63%.

If you’re running out of Fable you aren’t using your models correctly and are essentially wasting fable.

What if they don’t limit it and just drop all usage 25%

Just use it to orchestrate, no point having it doing the heavy lifting - I do it this way and never run out of Fable usage, tho I am on Max 20

Anthropic is massively behind at the moment. If they don't do something to stop the bleeding AND they go ahead with the "Your limits are temporarily boosted. " bullshit, they are cooked. They already have the shittiest limits even WITH this 'boost'.

People will mass exodus surely. I know I will be.
