solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Anthropic API] 400 'In order to access this model, your organization or workspace must have data retention enabled.' (Covered models such as Claude Fable 5 under ZDR)
Recommended action: Use a workspace with data retention enabled for those models, or stay on a non-covered model under ZDR.
Option: Route to a retention-enabled workspace [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Anthropic Claude API / data retention requirements for Covered Models
Steps:
1. Create/choose a workspace with retention enabled
2. Send covered-model traffic there (anthropic-workspace-id or its key)
Expected: Request accepted / failure becomes diagnosable
