For how long? Will you trust it?

Fable was doing really well for me too, and I had scoped out a nice development plan that was going to come in on-time under token budget before the 7/19 cutoff, which just became the 7/17 cutoff right in the middle of a database schema update / migration.

Had. They have altered the deal. Pray they do not need to alter it further.

But can you use it?

I was selected into fable, my context window had restructured my database schema and was about to deploy and migrate the existing database, then "you need to purchase credits to use this model" appeared right in the middle of the session.

I got the same, right in the middle of an implementation.

Usage credits weren't required before, and I was far from using up my Fable quota for the week under the promo...

More likely Fable usage was trending to take up more resources than they have available this coming weekend, so they cut it before that happened.

Even 2 hours notice would have been nice, though.

Claude has predicted your actions and now we all must suffer.

I think it was cutting off on the 12th, then they extended to the 19th, but apparently they changed their minds again, which really sucks when you've started a big change and now your context window that understood what it was doing gets rug-pulled.

They have to refund usage credits that people accidentally spent now though, since this was unannounced many are running agents and would be billed for tokens that would be covered by their plans. You can't lie to customers like this, if it was announced beforehand it would be fine but not like this.

Good luck getting accurate accounting for all that before July 20th.

Subscription accounts just get their "best effort" service during the subscription window.

Opus is struggling through the deploy operation that Fable may have been in the middle of, it's supposed to be idempotent, but I wonder how reliable that is... Fable had re-deployed a dozen times in the past 3-4 days, but Opus (lacking the context window) seems like it's hit a wall.

Given 5.6 and K3 I’m sure the window will be extended again. Have to maintain being somewhere on the frontier.

Shame Fable is completely useless for me due to security classifiers.

Yep, right in the middle of a big implementation plan.

I don't mind them changing the terms, I do mind them changing the terms without warning - I had concrete plans to wrap up my fable development long before the July 19th deadline, but, nope, here in the middle of the 7/17 afternoon it was working, then it cut me off.
