My understanding is that you get $20 in api credits each month and a one time $100 until mid September. So you can still use the model with a subscription but you aren't getting any kind of discount.
I burned through $45 in 3 prompts to fix some bugs in my code (Some kind of tricky to isolate). That thing burns through cash so fast I don't see myself using it outside of maybe building execution plans for other systems
I am on the pro plan and got the $100 credit.
I have moved on from Fable anyway so just going to view this next 6 weeks as I have a massive amount of Opus 5 to use.
I had a hard time finding anything that would let Fable express its increased intelligence. The few conversations I had this afternoon with Opus 5 were pretty impressed.
If Opus stays one click back from the frontier model, I will remain a happy customer.
