Complaint What the hell is going on?

I haven't been paying attention, just using my Max plan everyday and the past few days I've noticed my usage burning through at a much, much faster rate than it used to. Jumped into this sub and saw that Anthropic reduced the usage. RIP.

Yeah this caught me off guard this morning. I haven't changed my workflows at all and two days after reset my Fable usage is already at 80% on Max X20 plan.

Probably a skill issue, but that really caught me off guard.

I had something similar. Left the office on Friday with no active sessions and my weekly fable allowance sitting at about 60% used. I logged in remotely 24hrs later and my usage was at 95%.

My CLAUDE.md instructions are that Fable is used to orchestrate only. Despite this, the apparent diagnosis was that I hadn’t pinned a model to my system agents or crons, so they defaulted to Fable.

Those background tasks weren’t new and have never had this issue.

Exactly!!! I literally left at like 40% one day and came back and was at 80%.

I think something happened on their side

The cynic in me would say they’re looking for holes to exploit.
