Is it likely that it keeps track of what you said recently and decides whether you might be referring to things you've previously been downgraded for? I haven't been downgraded once , either a few weeks ago for the three days it was live, or since I got it back today.

>Is it likely that it keeps track of what you said recently and decides whether you might be referring to things you've previously been downgraded for? I have no special knowledge here, it feels rather unproductive for me to speculate. Out of curiosity, if you're comfortable trying any of them, do any of the above prompts cause you to get downgraded?

Good question! I'll give them a shot when I'm back to my computer.

I went last to first, and I was not blocked.

The wording on initial launch was: "For subscription plans, we’d rather give access sooner than later, so we’re rolling out more conservatively, in stages: From today through June 22, Fable 5 is included on Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans at no extra cost. On June 23, we’ll remove Fable 5 from those plans. Using it after that will require usage credits. If capacity allows, we’ll extend the included wi…

Everyone did get the first 7 of the original 14 days before the export ban. Now everyone gets another 7 days. Limiting it to half the weekly limit stings, but if you have a quota reset in the middle of it you still get effectively one weekly limit. (does everyone's quota now reset on Saturdays?)

my quota reset every time they release (or pull) a new model, pretty sweet

"promotion" like they are doing you a favor just this once out of their goodwill... Really really really pissed me off

I regret having signed up for an annual plan at this point; the rug-pulls are increasingly irksome.

Last I checked they only offered annual plans for their $20/mo tier. Given how fast Fable ran out my entire 5hr block on the $100/mo tier, I’d be surprised if you can have more than a couple exchanges with Fable before it’d exhaust the $20/mo tier.

Thanks for trying and for sharing results here. This is a pretty interesting data point and suggests something I don't think I've read about: the possibility that safeguards may not be account-invariant; that two different users might be getting downgraded or blocked differently for the same prompts.

This raises some really interesting ethical questions in my mind, but I suppose I need to do more reading and research on this before anything else.

This makes sense to me. Consider these assumptions: 1) During peak times, they're already struggling to meet demand. They've figured out that 50% should be achievable without causing too much pain for existing users, and by setting a limit, more users will use it for architecture and then switch back to Opus 4.8 for implementation. 2) They need data on how people are using it at scale to figure out when it should fir…

I have been positively surprised by the current usage limits on the Max 5x plan.

I think it might even be suitable for full time work, if the $200 plan gives four times the usage.

Particularly if they also remove the halving in the future.

I am not holding my breath for them adding an even more subsidized subscription tier.
