Despite paying for Claude access, I don't use Fable but I find this always changing policy quite exhausting to follow. There is 2x usage, there is no 2x usage, there is 2x usage but only x hours, there is no 2x usage, there is Fable access, there is no Fable access, there is Fable access till x date, there is Fable access till x + y date. This is just exhausting. I just want to open and usage the default model and within limits. That's all I ask.

Well... doesn't it work just like that, always? Open, prompt, get the result form whatever model your agent extension decides now should be the default one.

It's pretty deceptive. Sonnet only? Seems to have gone. Older models disappear all the time.
There was an announcement in may about higher usage limits, changes to peak times https://www.anthropic.com/news/higher-limits-spacex. Is this even the case anymore? Or has it changed again. The information needs to be baked into the UI.
I set a hard cap of 200k tokens, with Claude's instructions. The app doesn't even respect this.
Someone might argue the information is out there but a definitive source is often hard to find, or tell if it's current. I grow a little more and more resentful with sudden unplanned changes like this and want the day of local LLMs so I'm in full control.
