Claude app strings indicate Anthropic will require identity verification to access Fable 5 credits

The requirements contradict Anthropic's earlier statements about account flags.

Original post

It's unfortunate, but user identity verification may be one of the things that the administration is asking for in order to free Fable.

Exclusive: New Claude app strings tie Fable 5 usage credits to identity verification.

The strings show Fable 5 is being put behind the usage credit system, billed outside your plan. Identity verification is referenced in the same update: "Your credits will be added once your identity is verified."

Anthropic previously called identity verification unrelated to Fable and limited to flagged accounts. These strings showed up alongside the Fable 5 credit changes.

@AndrewCurran_ bet it’s something Anthropic was asking for…or leading the administration to ask for by arranging circumstances and then accepting the govts proposal, pretending it was the govts idea.

@apples_jimmy Fuck Dario dude. Seriously man I’m so sick of this. I literally asked fable to give me the best option for curing cancer and it rerouted me to 4.8.

@apples_jimmy It reminds me of how, back in my childhood, I used to constantly tattle to the teacher right after school ended, which meant we couldn't go back home for ages.
