Anthropic Cuts Claude Fable 5 Limits by 50% in Max and Team Premium Plans

On July 20, Anthropic reduced the limits for Claude Fable 5 in its Max and Team Premium subscription plans by 50%. This change follows competitive pressure from OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol, which offers cheaper pricing. Regular limits for Claude Fable 5 will drop by a third, prompting Anthropic to offer a one-time $100 credit to Pro users. This adjustment indicates a strategic shift in Anthropic’s pricing model, likely aimed at retaining users amid increasing competition in the AI space, particularly from OpenAI. For practitioners, this means a significant reduction in usage limits unless they transition to API pricing, which could impact their deployment strategies. More details are available in The Decoder.
