Anthropic slashes Claude Fable 5 limits in Max and Team Premium and pushes Pro users toward API pricing

Anthropic will reduce Claude Fable 5 usage limits by 33% for Max and Team Premium plans starting July 20, with Fable 5 available at half of the new limits. Pro and Team Standard users will receive a one-time $100 credit but must switch to API pricing afterward. The changes follow high demand, competition from OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol, and pricing pressure from Chinese models.
