Claude Code on Max plans mistakenly asks for credits to use Fable 5
A user report for anthropics/claude-code says that on 2026-07-20 — the first day Fable 5 became a standard part of Max plans — Claude Code still downgraded sessions to Opus 4.8 and claimed that Fable 5 required usage credits.
The report says the account was nowhere near its weekly limit, /model opened the credits top-up page, and the saved default model was the claude-fable-5[1m] alias. The poster argues that if the 1M context window is the missing entitlement, the client should say that explicitly instead of showing a misleading credits message.
