Re:Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @02:27PM (#49525932)
I’m really excited to try this out. Fable and Opus 5 constantly wow me when working together. Unfortunately, I’m a little burned because of technical issues.

Anthropic accidentally over-billed my account, and when I reached out to the support bot, it downgraded my account to a Free account. It’s been impossible to get it resolved and I have almost $200 held hostage.

I don’t want to do a charge back. I’m one of the main advocates for Claude Code at work, I use this subscription to try out new features before it’s available at work.

The whole experience has been illuminating about our dependencies on these AI companies.
