It kind of feels like CDCVM Is kind of dieing in North America. Even here in Canada, most terminals have been updated to have no contactless limit and banks will just decline transactions above $250 when a card is used to tap. Outside of the Apple Store and Bed Bath & Beyond, I've never seen CDCVM in Canada. This setup does the have the unfortunate side effect of seemingly allowing some international cards to be tapped for an unlimited amount with no verification (I managed to tap for a transaction over $500 on a European card).

It's not a problem with Interac debit cards though as the limit is enforced by the card chip/device and not by the terminal.
