According to a post by X user 歸藏(guizang.ai) on July 18, 2026, Anthropic will reduce Fable 5 limits by an additional 25% from previous levels starting July 20, effectively cutting them in half. Previously, from May to July 19, Anthropic had implemented a policy increasing member weekly limits by 50%, bringing total limits to 150% of normal. As a result, the adjusted Fable 5 limit is actually 75% of the original quota.
The user noted that after the promotion ends on July 19, both Fable 5 and total limits under the $100 and $200 plans will be reduced by 50%. Overall, all quotas are being cut.
The same user also mentioned that Claude announced Fable 5 will be permanently integrated into Max and Team Premium plans with a 50% limit. PRO and other Team members can only access it via credits, receiving a one-time $100 credit. The user speculated that this change may be driven by pressure from the launches of OpenAI and Kimi K3, and that this time the feature is being directly integrated rather than extended.
