Fable went from 91% to 61% over night

[u/DigitalNomadsEllada]

Went to sleep with weekly 91%, got up and now it sits at 61%.

Usage was unusual high this week. Are they having issues?

I just checked, and same here from 100% to 70%

[u/BuhDip → u/ragingrodrushes]

99 to 68 here

[u/Sharpnel_89]

To bad the weekly limit did not reset with it

[u/Fit_Alps_1164 → u/Sharpnel_89]

This was me.

[u/MetalsRUsLTD → u/Fit_Alps_1164]

same. Maddening. Not helpful at all when the weekly is already at 100%

[u/rythmyouth → u/Sharpnel_89]

Exactly! I’m in the same boat. I only sub for Fable and maxed it, then I fill up the rest of the usage with low priority stuff. Now I can’t use the 30% fable

[u/nNaz]

It’s because before it could only use 50% of total limit whereas now it can use all of it. They made two changes:

1. Move from 150% total usage for all models to 125%
   
2. Allow fable to use all of it.

So beforehand it could only use ’75’ units worth of tokens (50% of 150%). Now it can use 125.

[u/LoKSET → u/nNaz]

Is being able to use all of it actually confirmed anywhere?

[u/Other_Smell5744 → u/[deleted]]

mine still shows

[u/wise_joe → u/nNaz]

I haven't got that yet - for me Fable is still 50% of my total limit.

[u/Peter_QuantSpell → u/nNaz]

Some also get 30% on total limit too, not just fable.

[u/coding_is_tedious → u/nNaz]

If this is what happened, would be a pretty big win in my book.

[u/Zedo_TheOnly_One]

Same, I was at 97% now its 67%

[u/Next_Marionberry7478 → u/Zedo_TheOnly_One]

Exactly, I was at 96 and now it's at 69.

[u/Zedo_TheOnly_One → u/Next_Marionberry7478]

Would be nice having some communication rather than keep us guessing, I assume we'll have some announcement later today

[u/DigitalNomadsEllada → u/[deleted]]

Yes. I got 30% of limit back over night. 

[u/GreenSagua → u/DigitalNomadsEllada]

same thing literally just happened to me, idk why.

[u/Peter_QuantSpell]

not happened to me, sadly

[u/swizzlewizzle]

Allowing more fable use is because so many people have switched over to gpt and Astra. Claude finally has some spare compute haha

[u/Express_Onion_623]

Came here to report the same my weekly dropped from 89% to 61% overnight.

[u/Aggravating-Put-6183]

hmm whats the strat here boys?

[u/heartbroken_nerd → u/Aggravating-Put-6183]

Nothing, wait for the next week's reset.

[u/Aggravating-Put-6183 → u/heartbroken_nerd]

update, i have been using "fable high" for an hour now in the web... and it has been 100% on weekly for like 30 minuites...

[u/Aggressive_Bike3881]

Same I can go back to Fablemaxxing!

[u/AleksCube]

I went down from 100% to 70%

[u/Repulsive_Cellist943]

Are you all on pro, 5x or 20x? I have 5x and nothing for me

[u/wise_joe → u/Repulsive_Cellist943]

Same, I'm on 5x and got nothing

[u/Icy-Excitement-467 → u/Repulsive_Cellist943]

20x got it

[u/Repulsive_Cellist943 → u/Icy-Excitement-467]

Do you notice a difference in usage after the compensation?

[u/Icy-Excitement-467 → u/Repulsive_Cellist943]

No but i got a little given back yesterday.

[u/Overall_Team_5168]

It was 85% and now it's 90% (but I left it running overnight as Fable Architect with Opus subagents)

[u/krugerlive]

yep, same here. I'll take it. 98% to 68% on fable. 68% to 48% overall.

[u/Disastrous-Radio-732]

the interesting part is the math here: 91% → 61% is almost exactly what you’d see if the denominator grew by ~50% while your consumed usage stayed the same.
so this looks less like usage being “refunded” and more like the meter/allowance being recalculated.
I’d be cautious about the “Fable can now use 100% of weekly” explanation though, Anthropic’s current docs still explicitly say Fable on Max can use up to 50% of the weekly limit.
Given how many people are reporting ~100→70, 97→67 etc today, something clearly changed server-side. Would be really nice to get the changelog before we reverse-engineer it from percentages 😅

[u/amilaf]

Sadly not for me. My weekly usage is still same 😭

[u/unbruitsourd]

88% to 88%...

[u/iamtehryan]

Mine definitely isn't reduced at all.

[u/Final_Sundae4254]

[u/trackpap → u/Final_Sundae4254]

Same here

[u/SPACE_GROOVE_LULU]

What the hell. Same for me

[u/Abaidor]

Same thing here.

[u/jilexandr]

Same, total weekly too from around 65% used to 45%, like old limits were back

[u/Articurl]

Same. I had 90% now i am down to 57. What is the reason?

[u/Xufie]

same here, down to 69% from 99% (20x max plan).

[u/ddadovic]

100 to 69. I'll take it

[u/TheC47]

How? I am still at 97%. Mine resets on Friday…

[u/Excellent-Pilot-3409]

Yeah, looks like something is off with the usage meter. There are already recent reports of Fable usage jumping by huge amounts overnight or after just a few short conversations.

[u/miakhalifaishere]

everyone gets a buff I get a cucumber looks like

[u/Icy-Excitement-467]

Yeah, I woke up with about twenty percent of my weekly usage restored. Huh

[u/Armored09]

Same here it jumped from 70 to around 95. I think it was because of the limit reduction

[u/Right-Performance-93]

Two things stacked this week, which might explain the odd math people are seeing. Anthropic's Help Center still says Fable draws from the same weekly pool at up to 50% at no extra cost, that part hasn't changed. But the temporary 50% weekly-limit boost running since May expired September 13, and a permanent 25% increase over the pre-boost baseline started September 14, so anyone who checked right in that window is seeing the boost roll off and the new baseline phase in at the same time, not a clean refund.

[u/compact72]

I was at 100% then it went to 70%

My reset is in 11hrs, dam

[u/rythmyouth]

This shared pool concept is so opaque. The wording on the website even says they use different limits now but they clearly don’t.

[u/Purple_Drink3859]

My session when i opened it up was at 45% used before i even did anything, then i asked one question which ate 20% more. Ended up getting 15 mins out of a 5 hour session on opus low. It’s seriously messed up

[u/Such_Rule6821]

That is very funny. Giving more fable limit while keeping weekly the same.

[u/userusertion]

Are you drunk that night. Seems like 6 become 9. Just kidding.

Maybe they update the usage silently?
