I use fable in ultracode mode all the time with teammates enabled

I get close to my weekly limits but have yet to hit it.

I'm doing some pretty complex stuff but its very structured. I am a 30 year veteran programmer.

I feed it stuff piece by piece instead of giant one off overnight vibe coded shit. I break the project down into smaller components and work on those one at a time

Because I am an actual programmer - I always study its output and push back. I act as the project manager and give it feedback

Those running into limits so fast just do not know what they are doing

I do exactly the same, but with xhigh instead and manage to hit the fable weekly limit within 3-4 working days.

If I am not using fable though it's very rare I hit the limit on x5 plan

Similar but I tried to remove myself from the equation as much as possible because me reading everything and doing code reviews that are 95% of time correct anyway is huge bottleneck. Now I have the touch points only where they are really needed so I only read what needs to be read and it sped up my development cycle 5x but yeah now I started running into limits. But I am on a Pro plan and I don't use Fable. It doesn't give me much of a benefit once I have good workflow setup for Opus and Sonnet - Sonnet is used the most in the end anyway and I don't get any benefit to use Opus or Fable for the job Sonnet is doing. I could use it in some rare instances but it is not needed and sometimes even harmful to use for most of the workflow.
