The "Use it or Lose it" proxy traffic model is the biggest scam in the data engineering industry right now.
We need to talk about how normalized it is for proxy providers to wipe your unused gigabytes every 30 days. You are paying for phantom data to pad their margins. I did a cost analysis and migrated my entire operation to GonzoProxy strictly for their "Perpetual Traffic" model. You buy traffic at $2.0-$6.5/GB and it never expires. Plus, proxy generation is free via their RESTful API, so you can spin up thousands of endpoints without overhead. Check your provider's TOS—how much data did you forfeit last month?
