How 1 GB and 24-hour proxy rentals work

What counts toward 1 GB?

One GB means 1,000,000,000 bytes. Traffic in both directions is metered at the proxy network connection. The total can be higher than the size of downloaded page bodies because requests and network overhead also contribute.

Monitoring, retries, page assets, and downloads use the same allowance. The dashboard shows reported usage, so its display can lag behind enforcement briefly. There are no automatic top-ups or overage charges.

Estimate traffic from your actual client

Measure representative traffic before planning a larger task. Divide the allowance by the measured combined bytes per operation for a rough upper bound, then leave headroom for retries and overhead. The arithmetic below is illustrative, not a service promise.

The clock starts at complete delivery

Payment starts provisioning, with a 10-minute target. The 24-hour access window starts when the complete order is ready in the dashboard. Provisioning time does not use the rental window.

For example, an order delivered on Monday at 14:00 UTC expires on Tuesday at 14:00 UTC unless a proxy reaches 1 GB first. Leaving the proxy unused does not pause the clock. This example describes the timing rule, not a guaranteed delivery schedule.

Limits apply to each proxy

A pack of 10 proxies contains 10 separate 1 GB allowances. It is not one shared 10 GB pool. If one IP reaches its limit, that proxy stops; other eligible proxies can continue until their own limit or the pack’s expiry.

Decide your quantity from the number of dedicated endpoints your task needs and realistic usage measurements. Extra quantity does not extend any individual proxy’s life or change a retailer’s rules.
