User questions Claude Max 5x vs 20x plan effectiveness and Fable 5.1 usage

A user on Reddit is questioning their experience with Anthropic's Claude Max plans, specifically the 5x and 20x tiers. They report that the 5x plan's weekly limits are reached within 1-2 days of heavy usage, while the 20x plan lasts an entire week, feeling significantly more cost-effective. The user also notes that the Fable 5.1 orchestrator consumes usage limits much faster than Fable 5, suggesting this as a potential issue that needs fixing. AI
