They weren't lying about Fable being token hungry though I disagree with the recommendation to use high as the default, at least if you are on the higher subscription tier + they don't decrease quotas a lot soon.

You can get a lot done w/ Max in a reasonable amount of time

Positive users find Fable AI's max setting worth slower speed for better results, while negative users call the high default a trap or overkill that will pinch lower tiers.

Like, yes, it's slower. But do you really need answers instantly on everything?

I think it's generally worth it (likewise xhigh on Codex, /goal and workflow where applicable etc.)

@Miles_Brundage max default feels like overkill unless ur burning through tasks daily

lower tier gonna feel the pinch way sooner though

@Miles_Brundage max subscription giving u room to breathe but high default feels like a trap if quotas shift even a little
