What's Wrong?
Fable has become completely unusable in the past 24h. What's the broader filter you're using, are you flagging anything that may generate the word "secure"? Just a reminder that not all that mentions or generates anything related to "security" is cyber-security. At least when you flag messages these often, give back the tokens! I have a Max subscription, and Fable ate 20% of my 5-hour limit because it processed the prompt and then switched over and over again! The "Weekly Fable limit" went up to 92% and I swear it did no work that wasn't switching to Opus 4.8. And on a Max account, 100$/month... for this?
Also switching to Opus 4.8 would have been fine if you hadn't nerfed it.
What Should Happen?
Proper filtering for paying customers, that's what should happen.
And don't nerf a model before being absolutely sure that the new one is usable.
