Clicking the new “Reset for free” button in Claude’s usage settings sent our Pro account’s session meter back to zero and cleared its Fable usage. Anthropic is giving the button to subscribers alongside Fable 5.2, and on Pro it stops working on 17 November at 12:59 PM Pakistan time.
The numbers moved like this. Before the click: session 100%, all-models weekly limit 78%, Fable 24%. Afterwards: session 0%, weekly 67%, Fable 0%. The Limit resets panel then said there was nothing left to claim.
Anthropic launched Fable 5.2 on 9 November and attached a set of launch offers. Pro plans and standard Team seats can run any Fable model until 16 November, 11:59 pm Pacific time, with the allowance capped at half of the weekly limit. One reset comes on top. Whichever happens first, the half running out or the week ending, moves Fable onto usage credits for anyone who has switched them on.
You will find the button by opening Settings, then Usage, then Limit resets. A click applies it at once, and Anthropic says a used reset cannot be taken back.
The weekly meter is forgiving only toward Fable: hours spent on Opus or Sonnet stay on the bar. The short session window gets no such filter, and everything in it is cleared. Nothing about the limits themselves changes. Fable burns through them quicker than other models, and it is not selected for you; you choose it in the model picker.
Longer-standing, pricier subscriptions earn more: Max, Ultra and the premium tiers of Team and older Enterprise seats get one reset in their first six months, two up to a year and three beyond that, all usable until 8 March 2027.
| Plan | Fable resets | Last day (PT) |
|---|---|---|
| Pro, standard Team seat | 1 | 16 November 2026 |
| Max, Ultra, premium seats: under six months | 1 | 8 March 2027 |
| Max, Ultra, premium seats: six to 12 months | 2 | 8 March 2027 |
| Max, Ultra, premium seats: over 12 months | 3 | 8 March 2027 |
Only accounts that were already paying before 10 am Pacific time on 9 November qualify, and the Free plan is excluded. Anthropic can pull a reset for abuse, and cancelling or downgrading before you use one forfeits it. It is not tied to hitting a limit, so you can press it whenever you like, though it returns only what you have already spent.
