Their old Pro plan at $15/mo (paid annually) had 2,500/mo AI requests per month, use it or lose it.

The new Build plan at $20/mo has 1,500 AI requests, but they roll over. (Edit: apparently they don’t)

I’ve found Warp to be very useful, but you’re really paying for AI compute, not the terminal. And the AI compute space is getting very competitive.

From what I understand, in the new plan the 1,500 AI requests don't roll over. Only the add-on credits you buy on top of that will roll over and expire after 12 months.

Here’s where I got it from, but I see how it’s ambiguous. “You pay for what you use” sounds a bit like the BYOK (bring your own key) “add-on credits” pricing model you’re referring to.

But in the pricing table, they refer to monthly “AI credits”.

it's not ambiguous:

> For the Build plan, credits will not rollover but Reload credits will rollover and be valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
