  • For users not yet on Fable 5 but with access to the picker: "Meet Fable 5, our newest model for complex, long-running work. Try anytime with /model."
  • If the account uses plan limits and the plan-limits end date is in the future: "Included in your plan limits until [date], then switch to usage credits to continue."
  • Controlled by the tengu_saffron_lattice feature flag (fields: enabled, planLimitsEndDate, hideRateLimitsDescription)

Feature flag
tengu_saffron_lattice Not enough to say

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.

This account: no value returned · anonymous baseline: no value returned · compiled default in v2.1.170: not a boolean we can read

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.170. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns {"enabled":false} for tengu_saffron_lattice, read as this account. A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
