When using the WARP application on a PC, there might be a minimal increase in data usage due to the encryption overhead, and a slight, often imperceptible, impact on battery life, similar to any service that routes and encrypts all network traffic. However, Cloudflare optimizes WARP for efficiency, so for most modern PCs and typical usage, the impact is generally negligible compared to the benefits.
