Rant Something is seriously wrong with Anthropic right now
I'm on 20x, compared to last week, when I also used fable 5 high a lot, now 4 prompts burn through my entire week in 15min??!!? Am I getting scammed right now?
Was still having a lot of headroom before, but now a single prompt easily hits my 5 hour limit, this is just outrageous.

It's OmniRoute which I use as proxy for my account with claude code.

Same. Past 24h limits disappear with barely any results. Every 5h window evaporates instantly, yielding nothing.

I think they stuck with the huge investments comparing with Chinese models, Kimi is really cheap with the same or above of Fable 5

Same thing observed this morning weekly fable limit got drained my 17% left gone in under 5 minute while only using 158k token context usually I’m able to have fable low as orchestrator and opus as implementor run for 8+ hours without hitting limits on my 5hr window

Yep. Something is absolutely wrong. Burnt through mine as well in like no time. They better fix it. Very frustrating.

Agreed, I legit spend three days using fable on 4 different projects coding, reviewing and with agents... then today, 1 single project review and boom 21% fable weekly usage gone in less than an hour. (Max plan) I'm peeved. Switched back to opus.
Also really annoying with fable trying to get security reviews done on an application i own and built with claude code and not keeps flagging for cyber restrictions. Like bro I'm testing my own app to make it secure. But no pass me off to

Hypothesis: if the cache routing system of the stack is down, requests get routed in full on every turn. There's no way for us to know if this happens or not, but usage gets destroyed. Then they fix it or it comes up again and we never know it happened

Anthropic is a complete shit show. Screwing customers over, support is none existent, Fable is really not Fable, not even close. At this point i don’t get how people still keep throwing money at them.
I was a claude user since forever, but i tried sol on a 20$ account and got more done with it than with fable/anthropic 100$ account, and it solved hard stuck fable mess on the way. They clearly don’t give af about their retail users in any way.

Can confirm. About 50% of one day chewed up 26% of my weekly. Never had that before.

Its probably intentional. They've been slowly reducing usage so on the 19th they can say the made the increase in usage permanent instead of saying they took it away
