/model shows Fable 5 as credits-only (€0.00) on Max plan, while /usage shows Fable covered by plan (5% of weekly limit)

Summary

On a Max plan, the /model picker tells me Fable 5 is credits-only ("runs on usage credits — you have €0.00 in credits"), while /usage in the same session shows Fable covered by my plan's weekly limit at 5% used. The two surfaces disagree. The picker appears to be applying Pro-tier / credits-only gating to a Max account.

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.205
• Install: Homebrew (/opt/homebrew/bin/claude), macOS (darwin 25.5.0)
• Plan: Max
• Auth: subscription (Max)
• Region/currency: EUR billing

What I saw

/model → "Switch to Fable 5?"

Fable 5 runs on usage credits — you have €0.00 in credits. Learn more: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12429409-extra-usage-for-paid-claude-plans 1. Manage usage credits on claude.ai 2. No, keep my current model

/usage (same session, same time)

Current week (all models):  3% used   Resets Jul 20 at 2:59pm (America/New_York)
Current week (Fable):       5% used   Resets Jul 20 at 2:59pm (America/New_York)

The Current week (Fable) bucket is a plan-usage allowance that resets on the weekly cycle — i.e. Fable is included in my plan and I'm 5% into it. Per the Help Center, Max plans get Fable 5 at up to 50% of weekly limits at no extra cost.

Expected

The /model picker should recognize the Max plan and present Fable as drawing from the plan's weekly Fable allowance — not as credits-only with a €0.00 balance.

Actual

The picker shows credits-only gating (the Pro/Team-Standard path) and implies Fable is unavailable because I have €0.00 in credits, contradicting /usage.

Notes

• CLI is well past the 2.1.170 Fable floor, so this isn't a stale-version issue.
• The Max-vs-Pro Fable billing split reportedly took effect Jul 20, 2026 (same day observed), so this may be a plan-tier classification / rollout timing bug in the picker.

Screenshots of both the /model prompt and the /usage panel are available and can be attached to this issue.
