Growing. 1 report or thumbs-up in the last 7 days and none the week before, down from 3 a week at the late-September peak. Not fixed, and no vendor reply yet.

Weekly Fable usage meter rises without any Fable model use. In /usage, the "Weekly · Fable" meter goes up while only Opus 5, Opus 5.5 or Sonnet 5 sessions run on Max plans.
