I think it was cutting off on the 12th, then they extended to the 19th, but apparently they changed their minds again, which really sucks when you've started a big change and now your context window that understood what it was doing gets rug-pulled.

They have to refund usage credits that people accidentally spent now though, since this was unannounced many are running agents and would be billed for tokens that would be covered by their plans. You can't lie to customers like this, if it was announced beforehand it would be fine but not like this.

Good luck getting accurate accounting for all that before July 20th.

Subscription accounts just get their "best effort" service during the subscription window.

Opus is struggling through the deploy operation that Fable may have been in the middle of, it's supposed to be idempotent, but I wonder how reliable that is... Fable had re-deployed a dozen times in the past 3-4 days, but Opus (lacking the context window) seems like it's hit a wall.

Given 5.6 and K3 I’m sure the window will be extended again. Have to maintain being somewhere on the frontier.

Shame Fable is completely useless for me due to security classifiers.
