The current title is fine. It’s a 50% increase (unambiguously), or a 0.5 percentage point increase (also unambiguously).

lets run away from math if it sounds bad!

Ok so if something previously was free and now costs 1c per transaction, you would think "Stripe increasing price infinitely" would be a good title? Just because it is true that doesn't make it a good title. A good title should create a realistic expectation of the article content.

No that would not be good. I agree that you should choose the correct way to represent something.

But here a 50% increase creates a realistic expectation to me.

Congratulations, you’ve identified a misleading statement that has nothing to do with the present situation.

Using percentages as means of manipulating the masses has always been a thing.

"There has been a 1000% increase in traffic deaths this year, we must do something!"

Ah yes, we went from 1 death per year to 11 because there was a fatal bus accident, surely we need to do something.

What you say is true, but does not really apply here.
