After weeks of will-they-won't-they over how long paying users would keep the model, the company settled it: starting July 20, Fable 5 is a standing part of Max and Team Premium, capped at 50% of each plan's limits. Pro and Team Standard don't get it bundled — those tiers keep reaching for it through usage credits, sweetened with a one-time $100 credit. The backdrop is the export-control mess that pulled Fable 5 and Mythos 5 offline for three weeks in June before a July 1 redeployment. Making the model permanent, even at a haircut, reads as Anthropic finally drawing a line under that saga.
