Part of the May 2026 Warp pricing docs overhaul (umbrella branch: hyc/plan-updates).

This PR is Agent 1 in the fan-out plan and is scoped to a single file: src/content/docs/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/pricing-faqs.mdx.

What changed

Removed

  • The entire Warp's pricing change FAQs (Oct 30, 2025) section (Oct 30, 2025 + sub-FAQs).
  • The stale anchor link to that section from the How can I get the most out of my Warp plan? callout.
  • The stale anchor link from inside the downgrade-during-billing-cycle caution callout.

Updated

  • Plan recommendation copy now uses qualitative Build / Max / Business / Enterprise positioning, with seat limits and per-plan monthly credit allowances left to warp.dev/pricing.
  • Enterprise/Business plan FAQ drops the automatically enforced team-wide ZDR claim in favor of admin-configurable data controls, with model-provider ZDR called out separately as an all-plan concept.
  • Lite model FAQ now mentions BYOK and Custom Inference Endpoint (CIE) as alternatives to Reload credits.
  • Add-on CreditsReload credits renamed in this file's references.
  • Notes about hard-coded credit counts: Per the umbrella editorial rule, no per-plan monthly credit counts are hard-coded here; the page links to warp.dev/pricing for current allowances. The Reload-credit denomination SKU prices ($10 / 400, $20 / 1,000, $50 / 3,000, $100 / 6,500) and the 100-credit auto-reload threshold are retained — those are SKU prices and a mechanic, not plan-included credit counts.

Added

New evergreen FAQs:

  • How do credits work for multi-seat teams? — user-scoped Reload credits with grandfathered pooled credits.
  • What if I need more AI usage than my plan includes? — Max + Reload + BYOK + CIE + Enterprise/BYOLLM.
  • How does auto-reload work for teams? — denomination, 100-credit threshold, team-wide spend cap, and what happens when auto-reload is off.
  • How are service account / team-scoped API key requests billed on self-serve plans? — admin's-credits-first waterfall on self-serve, team-scoped pools note for Enterprise.
  • Can I bring my own API key? — all-plan availability, no Warp credits consumed.
  • Does Warp support custom inference endpoints? — sibling to BYOK; links to the new CIE page.

New tail-end section Warp's pricing change FAQs (May 14, 2026) with sub-FAQs covering:

  • Seat limits + grandfathering rules
  • Reload credits attribution change (user-scoped + pooled grandfathering)
  • Max plan credit-allocation change + grandfathering (qualitative; annual subscribers honored through end of contract; monthly subscribers honored until first renewal on/after July 1, 2026; any plan change forfeits grandfathering)
  • BYOK on Free (formerly paid-only)
  • The new Custom Inference Endpoint feature with BYOK / CIE / BYOLLM disambiguation
  • ZDR / data-controls clarification

Out of scope (and noted for the orchestrator)

  • The CIE page referenced in several links (/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/custom-inference-endpoint/) is owned by Agent 2.
  • Stale anchors pointing into the deleted Oct 30, 2025 section also exist in add-on-credits.mdx:51 (Agent 3 owns) and knowledge-and-collaboration/teams.mdx:42,73 (outside any current agent's ownership). Not touched here.

* Delete the entire 'Warp's pricing change FAQs (Oct 30, 2025)' section
  and remove the stale anchor link from the 'How can I get the most out
  of my Warp plan?' callout.
* Rewrite plan-recommendation copy with qualitative Build / Max /
  Business / Enterprise positioning; replace 'enforced team-wide ZDR'
  language with 'admin-configurable data controls' and split model-
  provider ZDR out as a separate, all-plan concept.
* Update the Lite-model FAQ to mention BYOK and Custom Inference
  Endpoint (CIE) alongside Reload credits.
* Add new FAQs: multi-seat team credits with grandfathered pooled
  credits, what-to-do-when-you-need-more-AI-usage (Max + Reload + BYOK +
  CIE), how auto-reload works for teams, and how service-account /
  team-scoped API key requests are billed on self-serve plans.
* Add BYOK-on-all-plans and CIE FAQs; rename 'Add-on Credits' to
  'Reload credits' and fix one remaining stale anchor link inside the
  downgrade caution callout.
* Add new tail-end 'Warp's pricing change FAQs (May 14, 2026)' section
  covering seat limits + grandfathering, Reload credits attribution
  change, Max plan credit-allocation change + grandfathering, BYOK on
  Free, the CIE launch, and the ZDR / data-controls clarification.

Per the editorial rule, no per-plan monthly credit counts are
hard-coded; the page links to warp.dev/pricing for current allowances.

Overview

This PR refreshes the pricing FAQ for the May 14, 2026 plan changes, adds new FAQs for Reload credits, BYOK, CIE, and ZDR, and removes the older Oct 2025 pricing-change FAQ section. The structure is clear, but a few changes need correction before merge.

Concerns

  • The ZDR language overstates Warp's provider-level protections for BYOK, custom inference endpoint, and BYOLLM traffic; those paths depend on the customer's provider or infrastructure settings.
  • Deleting the Oct 2025 FAQ heading removes an anchor that existing docs still link to, so this PR can create broken in-site links unless those references are updated or a compatibility anchor remains.
  • One auto-reload bullet still uses pooled-credit wording despite the new user-scoped Reload credit model.

Security

  • The ZDR wording is privacy/security-sensitive because it could tell Free, BYOK, CIE, or BYOLLM users that Warp provider ZDR agreements cover traffic that may bypass Warp-managed model providers.

Verdict

Found: 0 critical, 3 important, 1 suggestions

Independent of plan, all model provider traffic is covered by Warp's Zero Data Retention (ZDR) agreements with the underlying model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). Admin-configurable data controls — including team-wide retention policies and training opt-outs — are available on Business and Enterprise.

⚠️ [IMPORTANT] [SECURITY] This overstates ZDR coverage because BYOK, custom inference endpoint, and BYOLLM requests do not necessarily run under Warp's model-provider ZDR agreements.

When auto-reload is **on**:

* The admin chooses a Reload credit **denomination** ($10 / 400, $20 / 1,000, $50 / 3,000, or $100 / 6,500). Larger denominations have a better effective per-credit rate.
* Whenever any individual user's balance (plan credits + their share of Reload credits) drops below **100 credits**, Warp automatically purchases another bundle of the configured denomination on the team's behalf.

💡 [SUGGESTION] their share of Reload credits sounds pooled, but the new FAQ says Reload credits are user-scoped.

⚠️ [IMPORTANT] Deleting this heading removes #warps-pricing-change-faqs-oct-30-2025, but existing docs still link to that anchor; update those links or keep a compatibility anchor before this PR merges.

* **Model provider ZDR** — Warp has Zero Data Retention agreements with the underlying model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) so your prompts and completions aren't retained by those providers for training or logging. This applies to **all plans, including Free**.
* **Admin-configurable data controls** — Settings that let admins control what Warp itself retains for the team (data retention windows, training opt-outs, etc.). These are available on **Business and Enterprise**, and replace what was previously described as "automatically enforced team-wide ZDR."

⚠️ [IMPORTANT] [SECURITY] This wording says provider ZDR applies to all plans, but BYOK, custom inference endpoint, and BYOLLM traffic use customer-controlled providers or infrastructure with separate retention policies.

Per PR #73 follow-up: BYOK and custom inference endpoint support are
available to individual users and organizations with 10 or fewer
employees; larger organizations need a Business or Enterprise plan.

* 'Can I bring my own API key?' FAQ: append the verbatim disclosure
  paragraph at the end of the answer.
* 'Does Warp support custom inference endpoints?' FAQ: same.
* 'What if I need more AI usage than my plan includes?' FAQ: add a
  one-line italicized cross-reference below the BYOK / CIE bullets
  pointing to the BYOK FAQ above.

This file is the canonical version created on PR #71
(hyc/plan-updates-byok-cie). It is duplicated here so that the
link checker on this branch can resolve the relative references
to /support-and-community/plans-and-billing/custom-inference-endpoint/
that this PR introduces.

When PR #71 merges into hyc/plan-updates, git will reconcile the
identical file contents automatically.
