The token quota is completely unpredictable and changes month to month. Anthropic has a real penchant for riding the fine line of useful and dark patterns that make me want to write them off forever.

On the xhigh effort level (not ultracode!), and at the beginning of a new 5h session, I asked it to review a branch that has 300 lines changed/added, and went to grab a coffee. When I was back after a couple minutes, I saw that it decided to create a dynamic workflow with 60 something agents and hit session limits on my max plan.

When I'm subscribing to their plans, I have the expectation that I'll be able to get some reasonable amount of work done. These days, this expectation was already not being met for me with Opus, and Fable acting like this was the final nail in the coffin.

I cancelled my plan and I'm looking for alternatives.

For a period of time - then you go back to opus 4.8 or new sonnet 5.0 like some kind of AI pauper. Shine your shoes for some fable tokens g’vnor.
