A single heavy user can no longer drain the whole team's purchased credits. +* **Grandfathered pooled credits** — Teams that purchased Reload credits (formerly Add-on Credits) before May 14, 2026 keep their existing pooled balance until it's exhausted. Pooled credits are spent down first across the team; all new Reload credit purchases after May 14, 2026 are user-scoped. +* **Team-wide spend cap** — Admins set a single team-wide monthly spend cap that governs auto-reload across the team. See [How does auto-reload work for teams?](#how-does-auto-reload-work-for-teams) below. + +Enterprise plans support team-scoped credit pools and per-user spend limits separately — see [enterprise billing](/enterprise/support-and-resources/billing/). + +### How do platform credits factor in? + +Warp meters credits across three buckets: **AI credits** (the model call), **compute credits** (the sandbox a cloud agent runs in), and **platform credits** (run lifecycle, integrations, dashboard, APIs, and observability). All three draw from the same pool — your monthly Warp credits first, then [Reload credits](/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/add-on-credits/) once those are exhausted. + +Platform credits apply in two situations: + +* **Every cloud agent run, on every plan.** Warp's platform infrastructure coordinates every cloud run regardless of which agent or inference source it uses. +* **Local agent runs on Business and Enterprise that use customer-supplied inference** — BYOK, BYOLLM via Amazon Bedrock or Google Vertex, or a custom inference endpoint. Warp isn't paying for the model call, but Warp's platform infrastructure is still running the agent. + +Local agent runs on Free, Build, or Max — and local runs on Business or Enterprise that use Warp-managed inference — do not consume platform credits. See [platform credits](/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/platform-credits/) for the full breakdown. + +### What if I need more AI usage than my plan includes? + +If you regularly run through your plan's monthly credit allowance, you have a few options: + +* **Upgrade to Max** — Designed for developers with heavier AI usage. Max includes a higher monthly credit allowance than Build, plus a better effective rate for credits than buying [Reload credits](/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/add-on-credits/) on Build. See [warp.dev/pricing](https://www.warp.dev/pricing) for current allowances. +* **Purchase Reload credits** — Top up your account on demand at $10 / 400 credits, $20 / 1,000 credits, $50 / 3,000 credits, or $100 / 6,500 credits. Larger denominations have a better effective rate. Reload credits roll over month-to-month and remain valid for 12 months. +* **Enable auto-reload** — Pick a denomination and a monthly spend cap, and Warp will automatically purchase Reload credits when your balance drops below 100 credits, up to your cap. +* **Bring your own API key (BYOK)** — Point Warp at your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API key. Requests routed through BYOK don't consume Warp credits — you're billed directly by the model provider. See [Bring Your Own API Key](/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/bring-your-own-api-key/). On Business and Enterprise, platform credits may apply for local agent runs — see [platform credits](/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/platform-credits/). +* **Use a custom inference endpoint** — Route requests through any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenRouter, LiteLLM, z.ai, an internal gateway, etc.) without spending Warp credits. See [Custom Inference Endpoint](/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/custom-inference-endpoint/). On Business and Enterprise, platform credits may apply for local agent runs — see [platform credits](/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/platform-credits/). + +*BYOK and custom inference endpoint availability is subject to organization size — see [Can I bring my own API key?](#can-i-bring-my-own-api-key) for details.* + +For organization-scale needs (cloud-provider managed inference, granular admin controls, or higher seat counts), Enterprise plans include [Bring Your Own LLM (BYOLLM)](/enterprise/enterprise-features/bring-your-own-llm/). + +### How does auto-reload work for teams? + +Auto-reload prevents team members from getting blocked by credit exhaustion. It works the same way for single-user and multi-seat paid plans, with one extra knob for teams. + +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. +* All auto-reload purchases count against a single **team-wide monthly spend cap** that the admin sets. Once the team hits the cap in a given month, auto-reload pauses until the next billing cycle or until the admin raises the cap. + +When auto-reload is **off**, users keep working as long as they have plan credits, previously purchased Reload credits, or have routed Warp at their own API key or [custom inference endpoint](/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/custom-inference-endpoint/). Once those run out, premium-model usage is blocked until credits are topped up or the next billing cycle begins. + +Auto-reload can be enabled, paused, or reconfigured at any time in **Settings** > **Billing and usage**. + +### How are service account / team-scoped API key requests billed on self-serve plans? + +Some AI requests on Warp can't be linked to an individual user — for example, requests made with a team-scoped API key, a scheduled agent, or an agent identity. These requests have no individual *task billing principal*. On self-serve plans (Build, Max, Business), Warp bills these requests against the **team owner**, while attribution stays on the service account. + +The waterfall on the owner's account is: + +1. First, the owner's plan-included monthly credits are consumed. +2. Once those are exhausted, the owner's Reload credits are consumed. + +When auto-reload is **off**, the service account is blocked once both buckets are depleted. When auto-reload is **on**, service-account usage can trigger auto-reload on the owner's pool subject to the team-wide spend cap; further service-account requests then deplete that reloaded balance until the cap is reached. + +This waterfall keeps usage attributable to the service account in audit logs and usage breakdowns, while making billing predictable for the team owner. + +:::note +Enterprise plans support team-scoped credit pools, so service-account and scheduled-agent traffic draws from the team pool rather than an individual admin. When the team pool is depleted, traffic falls to pay-as-you-go (PAYG) if enabled in the contract; otherwise it's blocked.

You can choose to switch your existing plan to Warp Build at any time before your applicable renewal date to access BYOK. +#### Is the Max plan's monthly credit allowance changing? -#### How does the monthly spend limit on Add-on Credits work? +Yes. The Max plan's monthly credit allowance is decreasing as of May 14, 2026. For the current allowance, see [warp.dev/pricing](https://www.warp.dev/pricing). -You set a monthly spend limit that applies to your AI usage for each calendar month. This limit acts as the maximum amount you can spend on credits during that period. +**Grandfathering for existing Max subscribers**: -If a purchase would exceed your limit, it won’t go through—you’ll need to either increase your limit or choose a smaller purchase amount. +* **Annual subscribers** are honored at the prior credit allowance through the end of their current annual contract. The new allowance takes effect on the first renewal after the contract ends. +* **Monthly subscribers** are honored at the prior credit allowance until their first renewal or payment on or after **July 1, 2026**. The new allowance takes effect at that renewal. +* **Any plan change forfeits grandfathering** — switching to or from Max during the grandfather window moves you to the new allowance immediately. -**For auto reload settings:** +Confirm the exact allowance applied to your account in **Settings** > **Billing and usage**. -* New users who enable auto reload will start with a $200 spend limit. -* Existing paid plan users who enable auto reload will have their limit match their existing Overages spend limit (if previously configured, otherwise $200). +#### Can I bring my own API key on the Free plan now? -#### I’m an individual developer and need more than 1,500 credits per month. What’s the right plan for me? +Yes. As of May 14, 2026, **bring your own API key (BYOK)** is available on all plans, including Free. Previously, BYOK required a Build, Business, or Enterprise subscription. You can configure your OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key in **Settings** > **AI** > **Manage models**. -If you regularly use more than 1,500 credits per month, the Build plan is designed for you. It includes 1,500 monthly credits and gives you the flexibility to scale further with Add-on Credits, which you can purchase at discounted rates directly under **Settings** > **Billing and usage**. +See [Bring Your Own API Key](/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/bring-your-own-api-key/) for the full list of supported providers and setup steps. -Add-on Credits roll over month to month, remain valid for 12 months, and offer up to \~40% savings for larger denominations. You can also enable auto reload to automatically top up your credits when your balance runs low. +#### What is the new Custom Inference Endpoint feature? -If you’re part of a team that needs shared credit management, SSO, or enforced Zero Data Retention (ZDR), the Business plan provides all the same AI capabilities plus advanced security and administrative features. +**Custom Inference Endpoint (CIE)** is a new way to route Warp's AI traffic through any OpenAI-compatible inference endpoint — including OpenRouter, LiteLLM, z.ai, and internal gateways your team already runs. CIE is available on Free, Build, Max, Business, and Enterprise. -#### Should I subscribe to the Build plan or the Business plan? +CIE differs from BYOK and BYOLLM: -If you’re an individual developer or part of a small team, the Build plan is the best fit. It includes 1,500 monthly credits, discounted Add-on Credits for additional usage, and the ability to bring your own API key (BYOK) for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google models. You’ll also get unlimited Warp Drive objects, collaboration tools, and the highest codebase indexing limits. +* **BYOK** sends requests directly to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google using your own provider API key. +* **Custom inference endpoint** sends requests to any OpenAI-compatible URL you control (or that your team runs). +* **BYOLLM** is an Enterprise-only managed inference feature where Warp routes traffic through your AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, Azure Foundry, or internal LLM gateway with full routing, orchestration, governance, and observability provided by Warp. -If you’re part of a larger team (up to 50 members) that needs advanced administrative and security controls, choose the Business plan. It includes everything in Build, plus SSO, enforced Zero Data Retention (ZDR), shared Add-on Credits that can be used by all team members, and centralized billing – ideal for organizations that need stronger security, compliance, and team-wide management. +For setup and details, see [Custom Inference Endpoint](/support-and-community/plans-and-billing/custom-inference-endpoint/). -#### How do credits work for multi-seat teams? +#### How does Zero Data Retention (ZDR) work on the new plans? -For teams on the Build or Business plans, credits are managed at two levels: +Two distinct things are sometimes both called "ZDR" — May 14, 2026 makes the distinction clearer: -* **Included monthly credits**: Each seat on a paid plan receives 1,500 individual credits per month. These credits are tied to the user and reset every 30 days based on their subscription or renewal date. -* **Add-on Credits**: Once individual plan credits are used up, team members draw from a shared Add-on Credit balance that can be topped up and managed by team admins. +* **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." -This shared model gives teams the flexibility to handle variable AI usage – heavy users can consume more when needed, while the entire team benefits from shared value and volume-based discounts. +If you previously relied on the "automatically enforced team-wide ZDR" language on Business, your data controls are unchanged — Warp still does not retain your team's data for training, and admins can still configure retention. The terminology change disambiguates Warp's controls from the provider-level ZDR that applies to every plan.
