Why is Claude’s Fable available on Max but blocked on Pro?
Claude’s Fable is available on the but completely on the . An unverified estimate puts Fable’s cost at roughly twice that of Opus, so each Fable request could simply use up a Pro customer’s allowance about twice as fast. Fable is also described as being limited to half of the total allowance, which would further reduce its effect on overall usage.
If higher weekly use is the concern, a smaller Fable-specific limit could replace the complete block; even two requests per day would be more useful than none. The restriction feels especially hard to justify when the is too expensive for many individual customers.
