Tell HN: Error: Claude-fable-5 is temporarily unavailable

Constantly seeing this message for 80% of bash calls.

Is this new normal with Claude models, also do we get refund for this loop of failures where tool call fails, then Fable retries again with another tool call, which fails again and again. I am constantly seeing this error and getting very frustrated by it:

    Error: claude-fable-5 is temporarily unavailable, so auto mode cannot determine the safety of Bash right now. Wait briefly and then try this action again. If it keeps failing, continue with other tasks that don't require this action and come back to it later. Note: reading files, searching code, and other read-only operations do not require the classifier and can still be used.

The whole Anthropic/US administration/Fable guardrails/overpricing situation has been so frustrating for me and disruptive that I am really an inch away from just removing Claude Code/Codex (or any other US LLM) from my daily use.

I wonder how many others are feeling like I do at this whole situation?

I feel same, but my company is affiliated with another US company, hence we can't start using Chinese models easily, unless we start hosting ourselves or run through time consuming procurement process to use hosted model providers

		I am even tempted at this point to test Mistral, even though the signs say it lags behind quite far. I just wonder if that as a bottom bar is good enough.
