Fable 5 Credit Consumption Sparks Controversy
soumitrashukla9 · x · 2026-07-13
A repost claims that Fable 5 is now "virtually unusable": even asking it to do a spec review rather than direct implementation will rapidly burn through usage limits, reportedly consuming around $500 in credits at a time.
In contrast, gpt-5.6 is praised as being equally effective, with the author noting that their credits reset every time they open Codex.
