Claude Fable 5 isn’t permanently leaving subscriptions, Anthropic says

Anthropic has temporarily removed access to its powerful Claude Fable 5 model from subscription plans after July 7, shifting usage to a credit-based system due to unexpectedly high demand and capacity constraints. The company clarifies this is not a permanent change and intends to reintegrate Fable 5 into subscription plans once sufficient infrastructure capacity is available. Fable 5 remains fully accessible via the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. Users are advised that the model may return to subscriptions in the future as capacity allows.
