I'm so screwed. Current pace has me out of Fable usage in about an hour. Do I make a 2nd account or do I pay API prices?

Many users criticized Fable's usage limits on Sonnet as overly restrictive and not worth the cost due to frequent refusals, sudden suspensions, and high API fees from Anthropic.

@Areshkew I had to un-cancel to test opus for a video. It’s still scheduled to end in 20 days.

@theo These multi hour workflows they were talking about are gonna cost more than a full time senior dev

@theo Probably second/third accounts make more sense, direct api pricing is PUNISHING.

@theo Gotta pray for just enough outage to warrant a reset without actually disrupting your own work.

@theo Don't, cancel it again. Moral of the story should be, fable is to expensive for benchmarks haha

@theo I think the most generous usage of Fable will be from a sub so probably best to get another sub. Think about it, you’ll pay $200 in API pricing before you know it
