And they've hobble Fable and Opus so hard with their safety guardrails, I ask innocuous questions and tasks and they get flagged so often I gave up on it. I can get all the work I need done in GPT5.5 or 5.6 without the hassle.

I just kept a $20 plan going for use on my phone.

They also made Fable no longer ZDR for businesses which killed tons of demand for it.

I had Fable bail on me because I used the word autopilot on a project. Changed to something unrelated, and off we went.

    I haven’t hit the Fable guardrails a single time after substantial usage. And I’m working on a ML project (a game AI).

    I don’t doubt people are hitting it… shrugs

      I hit it once when I asked a question about whether butterflies remember anything from their time as caterpillars. I've never hit it for coding, but I also don't really do much related to security.

      It tends to bail occasionally for me once auth-related code comes into play.

      Nowadays Codex handles the bulk of the implementation and Fable/Opus on the planning.

      Not sure if Anthropic patched it, but early on its release the web UI Fable guardrails will trip if you mention you're a biologist.

      Yeah same. Multiple 20x max accounts, I typically hit > 50% of the fable usage limit on eace, literally never seen a guardrail. Maybe I’m boring? Maybe they have some kind of account reputation system?

      I’ve only hit it twice. First time was a code review. Fair.

      2nd time was literally me being lazy and telling it to commit and open a PR.

      Very strange.
