Does Unused Proxy Traffic Expire? Pay-Per-GB vs Monthly

What happens to GB you do not use, how prepaid traffic differs from a monthly allowance, and what to check in any provider's terms.

The short answer

Pay-per-GB means you pay for gigabytes, not for a period. Proxy302 sells rotating residential traffic this way on two lines, Budget and Premium, and the traffic you buy has no expiry. If you buy 50 GB and use 5 GB this month, 45 GB are still there next month.

A monthly allowance works differently. You pay for a billing period and the GB come with it. Some providers carry the rest over and some do not, and this page cannot tell you what a given provider does: it is written in that provider's terms or FAQ.

What no expiry covers, and what it does not

It covers purchased rotating residential traffic. Traffic bought for one line, Budget or Premium, is spent by proxies of that line, so buy for the line you will actually use.

It does not turn a lease into traffic. A static IP is rented per IP for 1, 3, 7, 30, 60 or 90 days and the lease ends on its date, whether or not you used the IP much. Auto-renew for a lease is optional and can be switched off for each IP.

How to check any provider before you pay

  1. Step 1

    Find the sentence in the provider's terms or FAQ that says what happens to unused traffic at the end of the period. If you cannot find it, ask support before paying.

  2. Step 2

    Work out whether you are buying GB (prepaid) or an allowance for a period (plan). The price page usually shows it: a per-month price means a plan.

  3. Step 3

    Compare on price per GB you will really use. A plan that is cheaper per GB only wins if you use most of the allowance every period.

  4. Step 4

    Buy the smallest amount first. At Proxy302 that is 1 GB, and there is no free trial. Run your real task and see how many GB it takes before you buy a bigger package.
