A brief access extension
Berman describes the deadline and says the existing quota remains in force.
Anthropic announced that access to Claude Fable 5 on paid plans was extended through July 12, 2026. If you had unused quota during that period, you could continue using it. I had already used mine, and the extension did not reset the quota; this was a time-limited offer, not a current availability statement.
