[Bug] Fable 5 blocked in model picker despite Team Premium entitlement
Bug Description
Bug report:
Fable 5 shows "Requires usage credits" in /model picker despite entitlement being included in plan.
Environment:
Claude Code version: 2.1.220
Platform: Windows (win32-x64)
Plan: Team plan, Premium seat
Auth: Claude AI subscription login
Steps to reproduce:
Run /model in Claude Code CLI
Select "Fable" from the picker
Expected behavior:
As a Team Premium seat, Fable 5 should be usable at no extra cost up to 50% of weekly usage limits (per Claude Help Center: "Claude Fable 5 on your plan"), without requiring usage credits.
Actual behavior:
The /model picker shows "Fable Fable 5 · Most capable for your hardest and longest-running tasks · Requires usage credits" and blocks selection, prompting to either set up usage credits or switch to Sonnet 5.
Additional context:
The same account can use Fable 5 without issue in Claude Desktop.
/usage in the same CLI session shows the weekly limit at ~11-14% used, with no separate Fable-specific quota bar shown when retrying with r.
No "Enable Fable 5" toggle is visible in claude.ai/admin-settings, consistent with Fable access being auto-granted for Premium seats rather than opt-in.
This matches previously reported issues #79412, #79337, and #80484 in anthropics/claude-code.

+1 we have premium seats assigned and can't use Fable in Claude Code. In Web and in Claude Desktop its working.
+1, same here
Fixed: I ended all open sessions, logged out, and then logged back in.
For us it's the env var CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN.
As soon as this is set Fable will ask for usage credits. Once i remove the env var i can use fable with my premium team seat.
