Residential proxy: Billed according to the traffic used. How much traffic is purchased will be in the account. The corresponding amount of traffic is consumed according to the specific business scenario used. It is valid for one month from the time of purchase and will expire after one month. You need to purchase a new order to activate.
Socks5 proxy: Billed according to the number of IP purchased. The balance in the account will be as much as the number of IP purchased. Using one proxy consumes one balance, and the unused balance will not expire in the account.
Static residential proxy: Billing is based on the number of IP purchased. The balance in the account will be as much as the number of IP purchased. Using one proxy consumes one balance, and the unused balance will not be deducted from the account.
What should I do if I still have a data balance in my account, but it's about to expire?

After the traffic expires, it cannot be used. When it is about to expire, if you re-purchase a new traffic package, the remaining traffic will be superimposed with the newly purchased traffic. The overall usage time will be calculated from the date of new purchase and will be valid for 30 days.
How long will it take to receive the proxy balance after payment?

If you paid using a payment method other than bitcoin, you should receive it immediately after payment. If you are paying with Bitcoin, you will need to wait until the transaction is confirmed by the Bitcoin network, how long it takes to get confirmation depends on the Bitcoin network and the miner's fee you pay.
