Claude said in a post on X that it has extended the subscription period for Claude Fable 5 by another seven days, pushing the date to July 19. OpenAI, also posting on X, said it has temporarily removed the five-hour usage limit for Codex, though it did not say how long the change will last. The update follows repeated delays by Claude in switching Claude Fable 5 to a pay-as-you-go model. According to the original report, those delays were tied to continued pressure on compute capacity. After that, some users posted screenshots showing high credit bills and proof of canceled subscriptions. Some of them said they would move to OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol or xAI’s Grok 4.5 if the situation continues.
