As of today Fable 5 is no longer bundled at no extra cost in seat-based plans, and continued use draws on usage credits. The wrinkle: Fable 5 was offline June 12 to ~June 18 under the US export-control directive, so subscribers effectively got 4-5 of the advertised 13 free days. (Developers Digest) For daily Claude Code users this is a real cost change, the top SWE-bench Verified model (95%) is metered again, which pushes you to weigh credit burn against Opus 4.8 or open-weight options like GLM-5.2. The math just got more interesting in the open model's favor.
