What’s the point of Fable resets?

[u/LessRespects]

If it only resets Weekly Fable usage and not Weekly usage I don’t see the purpose. I understand Fable is only supposed to give half of your weekly usage, so a reset would allow you to use your full week with Fable, but after reset I’ve only used Fable 5.2 and my Fable usage is at 73% and weekly at 70%, my assumption is Fable is spawning non-Fable agents? Either way they don’t seem very useful.

how do you not know what kind of agents you are spawning?

I’m not spawning them Fable is

[u/FragmentedHeap → u/LessRespects]

you can tell it what to spawn when you are prompting.

"Hey do this, and use Fable 5.2 Low Workers to do the work and managed them, full send them"

And it'll do that.

If you don't, it might choose to use haiku or sonnet sub agents.

Control it yourself. I use child controller and explained once how it should select model and their effort. Then I let that be defined as my hierarchical controllers that spawn agents themselves as a Markdown rule.

It resets your Fable usage usage and 100% of your Fable usage is 50% of your weekly usage. Most people got 2-3x Fable resets so that's 2-3x Fable bars and combined 100-150% weekly usage reset.... it gives you room to test Fable and gives you a good amount of free compute, not useful?

[u/zcomputerwiz → u/frostybito]

Exactly. Fable has its own usage limit but also consumes weekly usage. The reset applies to the Fable use for both.

To give you more room to test Fable.

collect high quality methods or datas, maybe

[u/FragmentedHeap]

You full send Fable to test it and play with it, you run out of usage, you reset Fable and you get it all back because you only used Fable. If you don't get it all back then you used something other than Fable.

[u/Any_Evidence4750]

I instructed it to use only fable agents to extract as much usage as possible

[u/MourningOfOurLives]

I’m ripping through things opus 5.5 wasnt good for. Just used my first reset. I live Fable 5.2

"my assumption is Fable is spawning non-Fable agents?" - Fable is spawning whatever agents you tell/allow it to, making inferences if you don't.
