ClaudeAI weekly: Fable 5.2 burns tokens, secrets leak into repos, usage eats failures
ClaudeAI-mod-bot · reddit · 2026-11-14
r/ClaudeAI's weekly Survival Guide for Nov 6–13 covers the noisy release of Fable 5.2 — a token-hungry specialist, not a daily driver (stick with Opus 5.5 for 90% of work, don't benchmark on Max, don't waste a Fable reset on a maxed weekly limit).
Mandatory security corner: .claude/settings.local.json has been leaking live secrets into public repos, and API "spending limits" are soft — one user racked up a $167 bill on a $30 cap. Check your .gitignore and rotate keys. A Nov 13 outage tangled with the Microsoft 365 meltdown and charged usage on failed prompts.
Plus community highlights: a Claude-Code-discovered exoplanet confirmed by TESS, a Marine vet who out-lawyered the Pentagon, and meme-hall entries like "hopital."
