What is this?

On June 9, 2026, Anthropic shipped Claude Fable 5. Three days later a Commerce Department export directive suspended it worldwide. It came back, Sonnet 5 followed, and access on paid plans kept getting bundled in as a promotional perk — extended once, then extended again.

The latest extension pushes included Fable 5 access, plus Claude Code's boosted 50% higher rate limits, through July 19, 2026. This page counts down to that date. No spin, no lore — just a clock, because someone was going to build one anyway.
