Fable 5 dropped from subscriptions before the promised July 19 date

Users report that Fable 5, a model from Anthropic, has been dropped from subscriptions before its promised July 19 date, with some noting it no longer appears in /usage. A status page at status.claude.com suggests it may be a bug, but others suspect a backend change or a retrieval-augmented generation pull.
