Anthropic makes Fable 5 a permanent part of Max and Team Premium plans

After the removal deadline slipped from July 7 to July 12 to July 19, Anthropic announced on July 18 that Claude Fable 5 stays: beginning July 20 it is included in all Max and Team Premium plans at 50% of usage limits, permanently. Pro and Team Standard users keep credit-based access and get a one-time $100 credit; the $20/month plan still does not include Fable 5.

What it means Anyone who planned workflows around losing subscription access to Anthropic's best model can stop working around the deadline — and heavy users now pick plans knowing exactly what 50% of limits buys.
