Warp Terminal Doing a Pricing Shock for Canadian Users – 10× Increase on Credits

I used to pay $220 USD for 50,000 credits. That was entirely reasonable for my usage.

Today I noticed something different: I was charged $33 USD for 1,041 credits. For context, I can burn through the 1,500-credit / $20 package in a single day, so these numbers matter.

Breaking it down: • 50,000 ÷ 1,041 ≈ 48.03 • 48 × $33 USD = $1,584 USD • Converted, that’s roughly $2,060 CAD

So the same volume that was previously $220 USD is now effectively 10× the cost.

I’m not sure what assumptions or models justify this tier for Canadian individual users, but this is the kind of pricing that pushes non-enterprise customers away. I’d maybe tolerate $300 for 50k credits, but a 10× jump is simply not viable.

At this point I’ll be waiting for a competitor. Curious if other Canadian users are seeing the same multiplier or if this is an early-stage rollout glitch.

I'm curious what you use its ai for?

so far I only use it to come up with long and chained commands I don't remember.

for example, kill all processes match certain pattern,

count the lines of code of certain files under a repo

kill processes listening to certain ports.

but other than a few use cases, I don't use it much.

I'm asking, because before warp came out, I also thought about creating a terminal as a side project. I hope to understand how important the ai feature is for today's market. I love warp's usability, but I don't find its integrated ai that useful.
