I was confused about this a few hours ago. Why did I still have Fable 5 on my Max plan today? Am I getting billed per token, eek? (No.)

This is the message in in the claude [code] cli:

   Fable 5 is now a standard part of your Max plan
   You can use up to 50% of your weekly usage limit on Fable 5. If you hit your limit, you can continue on Fable 5 with usage credits. Fable 5 draws down usage faster than Opus 4.8. Run /model and select Fable to use it. Learn more: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15424964-claude-fable-5-promotional-access

Huge fan of Claude for a long time but switched now to Codex after all of this "ok one more week, one more week" stuff. It feels like Sol is quite capable, and the nice thing is the refusal rates seem more reasonable, _especially_ if you're doing anything thats reasonable but that they consider "sensitive". The dealbreaker for me is their initial nerfing / silent sabotage but now down-grading for anything even resembling AI work. That's a pretty low blow IMO.

...but not for Pro plans anymore, they give you one-time 100$ extra usage credits instead (well it said 100$ but I only got 85).

Max would be a 7x cost increase for me, I think it'd have to do a bit more than it does to justify that.

Oh ffs. Title should be: "Fable is now included on Max plans (up to 50% of weekly limit) if you actually have any usage left after when you thought it'd be taken off you yesterday"

haha, totally the same situation. also, they did an unscheduled limit reset on thursday (less than 24h before the usually planned reset), so had to urgently reshuffle my priorities to have one week of fable squeezed into ~20 hours (and mind the session limit too, as it becomes the bottleneck in that situation)

Co-worker and I were speculating that a) They'd extend the preview period when OpenAI announced Sol (which they did, maybe not because of Sol though) and b) That once the preview period it was going to get included by default on plans in a couple weeks so they could gauge usage of it being included versus having to pay for it all the time. Noticed that Fable was included when I launched claude code this morning, so I'm guessing they have all the data they needed to make a decision.
