Anthropic will include Claude Fable 5 in Max and Team Premium plans starting July 20, but at just 50 percent of regular limits, which themselves drop by a third that same day.

Pro users get a one-time $100 credit, then pay API rates.

The reversal from Anthropic's original plan to pull Fable from subscriptions entirely likely comes down to competitive pressure from OpenAI's cheaper GPT-5.6 Sol.
