TL;DR

Anthropic has extended free access to Claude Fable 5 on paid plans through July 12, 2026.

Paid subscribers can continue using Fable 5 for up to 50% of their weekly usage limit before switching to usage credits or another model.

After July 12, Fable 5 will once again require usage credits instead of being included with standard paid plans.

Just hours before Claude Fable 5 was set to be removed from standard paid subscriptions, Anthropic has changed course and extended promotional access for a few more days.

The company has confirmed that Claude Fable 5 will remain available on all eligible paid plans through July 12, 2026, at 11:59:59 PM PT (2:59:59 AM ET). That means Pro, Max, Team, and premium seat-based Enterprise subscribers can continue using the model without paying extra, at least for now.
