Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Fable 5 Usage Credits UX Overhaul

What

The model selector and status messages around Fable 5's usage credits are significantly improved with clearer state communication.

Details
  • The model entry now dynamically shows either "Draws from usage credits" or "Included with your plan until [date]" depending on account state
  • New fableOverageConsent consent flow: users are asked to explicitly enable usage credits before Fable 5 draws from them
  • Consent is stored per organization UUID or account UUID in local settings
  • Improved error messages distinguish between: credits not yet enabled, monthly limit reached (admin-adjustable vs. self-adjustable), credits unavailable for the account, and organization policy disabling credits
  • A configurable bridge dialog timeout: CLAUDE_CODE_FABLE_BRIDGE_DIALOG_TIMEOUT_MS (default 60,000 ms)
Evidence

Fable model description function (search for "Draws from usage credits", "Included with your plan until", "fableOverageConsent", "CLAUDE_CODE_FABLE_BRIDGE_DIALOG_TIMEOUT_MS")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
