Useful bit of info: 93% of your 5 hour limit is ~25% of your weekly limit

So you get a bit under 4 "5 hour max outs" a week

Thank fucking GOD I did this holy shit, next step spun up ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT SUB AGENTS USING FABLE

Holy fuck I'm going to max out a SECOND account's 5 hour window and still not have the first one reset 🙃

I broke $100 and was going to hit $200 within the next few minutes, so I cut my losses and made a 2nd account.

Forgot about my mac mini. That puts me just over $1k of Fable, and another $350 of Opus yesterday lmao

I will probably break $8,000 of tokens on my $200 sub this month 🙃 I will miss the subsidization era when it's over

I turned on "extra usage" about 10 mins ago and I'm already at $56 burned with a single "continue" on a workflow 🙃 it was on the 12th step too

@theo Use http://lazyagent.dev to see your usage via command line. Way easier and faster (and you won't leave your terminal)

@theo How on earth are you maxing a 20x plan?! I’m mostly fine with Max 5x. Just curious on the nature of work. Cheers!

@theo Wouldn't a 10 minutes old account have limits that reads “days” not “hours” left to reset?

@theo That's interesting. On an enterprise plan I maxed-out two 5-hour limits with Fable and am at 12% of my weekly limit. So roughly ~4x the usage of the $200/month max plan.

@CadenBurleson @theo Opus 4.8 used to spend +100k tokens and +20min for single task but they fixed it. I think they will optimize Fable 5 as well

@indiesoftwaredv @theo Fable 5 is dope though. Seems to get things right the first time.

@indiesoftwaredv @theo For sure! That's why they said It's only available till the 22nd. Bc they need to either improve it or get more servers. :P

@nicdemai This was previously my account for testing limits on the $20 plan, so it "existed" but the $200 sub is brand new.

Nice of them to honor the weekly sub reset timer though :)
