Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. 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.

Usage credits messages — cleaner wording

Several Fable 5 usage-credits status messages have been rewritten for clarity.

Details
  • "Fable 5 uses usage credits and you're out · run /usage-credits..." → "You're out of usage credits. Run /usage-credits to keep using Fable 5 or /model to switch models."
  • Monthly limit messages now say "You've hit your monthly spend limit" (admin-path: ask admin; user-path: run /usage-credits)
  • "Now using usage credits for <model>" notification appears when the model switches to credit-based billing
  • Fable 5 onboarding banners (the "Fable 5 is here!" and "Fable 5 now runs on usage credits" intro screens) have been removed now that the launch period is over
Evidence

Updated messaging (search for "You're out of usage credits" or "You've hit your monthly spend limit")

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