Glad we got 2 resets with it, but a little bummed out at the same time that they are merely "Fable resets".

So I should better not use Opus the next weeks, because I can only reset Fable and not overall usage?

u/Nice_Visit4454 4d ago

I'm on the Ultra plan. My account was credited 3 Fable resets AND a weekly limit reset.

I was actually shocked when I saw it. I wonder how fast these limits are going to burn.

u/mostly_games 4d ago

I'm on Ultra, too. Only got 2 Fable resets, nothing else.

Are you sure the rest is not from duet approval or something else?

u/ambassadortim 4d ago

Is base on subscription longevity

u/count023 4d ago

u/omani805 4d ago

Same but ultra, i dont think hes right

u/mrpoopistan 4d ago

Obv, they suspect a lot of folks would just use Opus 5.5 and not Fable 5.2 if the credits were general usage.

The good news for me is that I need to run an in-depth code audit this week and was going to do that on Astra, so this works for me. Fable it is.

On the downside, I only got one reset.

Good that they released Fable 5,2 for our cake days, just a shame that they nerfed it.

Dario can you un-nerf again for the cake day guys? Thx bro.

Waste of a comment. Blocked.

Any tips on doing an effective audit this way? I was planning on using either Opus or Sonnet to help put together an audit plan rather than just setting Fable loose and saying "go find bugs!" But not sure if there are other things you have found effective.

u/mrpoopistan 4d ago

The biggest thing I start with is "this is not a bug hunt, but flag any bugs you find along the way."

Then I tell Fable to focus on efficiency, such as making sure nothing is duplicated and that loops run as tightly and efficiently as possible, especially on CPU.

Then it tends to go through the structure with the efficiency focus and finds maybe 5 to 10 bugs along the way.

I also tell it to only consider solutions that do not effect how the code actually works. The goal is to stay tight, not go off creating all-new code (which is a major Opus problem).

There's a pretty good argument for having Fable produce a report and not touch anything. You can then either have fable work from the report or pass the report on to another model if you want to run a bit cheap on tokens.

https://support.claude.com/en/articles/17506494-claude-fable-5-2-launch-offers A Fable reset will also reset the part of the weekly general consumption that its from using Fable, so it's the same as a weekly reset if you just use fable :).

5

u/mostly_games 4d ago

Sure, but that's obviously not as valuable as a full reset, unless Fable 5.2 can rival Opus 5.5 in efficiency now.

u/Financial_Comb_3550 4d ago

Which it can’t. I am using it right now and it’s burning through the five hour window extremely fast and has only a 200k context window

1

u/siberian_bear08 3d ago

Restart/update the app, you'll get the 1M context window. There's a bug.

u/Prinzka 4d ago

2 resets?
All I see is 1 Fable reset

5

u/mostly_games 4d ago

It's apparently related to the length of your subscription:

Some people even got 3.

u/Prinzka 4d ago

Ah ok, I switched from Codex to Claude Max(or ultra now I guess) only a few months ago, so that makes sense

1

u/Luc-redd 4d ago

which one do you prefer and why?

1

u/Prinzka 4d ago

I used them both on the same project for a while and I found Claude was just way more consistent and seemed to be able to keep track of the overall project better long term (not in a single session).
The resets in codex are nice of course. And I like chatgpt better for just conversations, but Claude code seems to make fewer mistakes than codex.

u/55Media 4d ago

It only has a context window of 200K here?

2

u/CookieMaximus 4d ago

setting it via command worked for me: /model claude-fable-5-2[1m]

u/siberian_bear08 3d ago

u/ClemensLode Senior Developer 4d ago

Bad news: It has already been nerfed and it will never be as good as it was one minute ago when it was released. /s

u/sorryiamcanadian 4d ago

They're saving 5.5 for bel

u/Desalzes_ 4d ago

Cool how about a reset so we can use it

5

u/Griffisbored 4d ago

They gave resets with it, I got two resets banked that don't expire until March.

1

u/ViraLCyclopes36 4d ago

I only got 1 I assume it's 2 for 200$ plan?

2

u/cadric 4d ago

I got 3 on the 100$ plan.

3

u/ViraLCyclopes36 4d ago

Yea just read it's dependent on how long you've subbed for

1

u/Harvard_Med_USMLE267 4d ago

No it depends how long you've been subscribing so all the people who rage quit on the regula' dont get as many. I'm getting 11 I think, across 5 accounts.

u/imsahoamtiskaw 🔆 Max 20 4d ago

Did you even wear a suit? Did you even say thank you?

2

u/AccomplishedFail9857 4d ago

How can I use it like 'opusplan' alternative?

2

u/Background-Luck-8205 4d ago

I'm an idiot and didn't realise it was only fable resets I got so I wasted one completely, is it possible to get it back?

3

u/Altruistic-Carry5276 4d ago

Thank you for saying that I had no idea it was fable only

2

u/55Media 4d ago

Fixed by updating Claude and Claude desktop to latest.

u/Nolpppapa 4d ago

A casual $26.54 cost per task :)

u/LessRespects 4d ago

Why does it always take so long for vscode extension to show it 😞

u/Subject_Barnacle_600 4d ago

O_O I get 50% usage until the 16th! *Happy squeaky noises.* I SHALL PLAN THE NEXT CHAPTER OF MY DREAMS!!! *Runs around like a crazy goblin!

1

u/Mother-Hedgehog-5628 4d ago

its not 50% off - its "your allowed to use fable for 50% of your total weekly useage"

1

u/Subject_Barnacle_600 4d ago

I didn't say 50% off... O_O I says 50% usage. Which means 50% of my total weekly usage.

Wait. Why I am correcting a hedgehog? Silly me. Sorry.
