Anthropic Extends Claude Code's Usage Boost Again — But the Fable Math Still Doesn't Add Up
Questions this post answers
When does Anthropic's Claude Code usage boost extension expire now?
Anthropic extended the temporary 50% boost to Claude Code's weekly usage limits to August 31, marking the fourth deadline extension since the promotion launched in May. The Claude Developers account also stated Anthropic hopes to make the boost a permanent change, rather than letting it expire as originally planned. daily.dev helps developers track shifting Claude Code usage limits before they hit a wall mid-project.
How does Claude Code's Fable model usage cap interact with the weekly plan limit?
Fable can consume at most 50% of a user's total weekly Claude Code plan allowance, so the size of that overall allowance directly sets the maximum Fable usage available. With a 100-unit baseline, Fable is capped at 50 units; with the current 50% promotional boost raising the pool to 150 units, the Fable cap rises to 75 units.

What happens to Fable access for Pro and Team Standard Claude subscribers?
Pro and Team Standard subscribers lost free access to Fable, Anthropic's coding-focused model, and now pay per token for any usage instead. They received a one-time $100 credit as compensation, while Max and Team Premium subscribers retain Fable as a permanent option drawing from their shared usage pool.
