I assume what they saw during the first coming of Fable gave them pause. Lots of people I know were using it non stop to the point of serious sleep deprivation. I managed to burn 6k in 3 days on it, and was myself using it from the minute it landed till the minute it was shut off. (Yes yes, I know, I am just saying there were stupid people like me swarming the available capacity)
Yeah for the first time in a long time I ended up using my entire weekly quota. Usually I go slow but with Fable I actively saw a huge benefit in pushing it and doing much more.
Would you be doing that without the FOMO?
I would be doing the same thing with opus or gpt-5.5 -- project in crunch phase. But I really did enjoy Fable. Not sure if it was worth the premium, probably, but it offered great design help.
