How Proxy Renewals and Auto-Renew Work

By AptProxy · Updated

ISP, datacenter and mobile proxies are rented for a period (new orders run for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days). At the end of the period they stop working unless the order is renewed. Residential traffic packages work differently: they are never renewed automatically, and you buy another package when the traffic runs out.

Auto-renew is on by default

Every new ISP, datacenter and mobile order starts with auto-renew switched on. You can switch it off or on again per order from My Proxies or the order page.

When and how the renewal runs

  • A scheduled job runs every hour and renews orders with auto-renew on that expire within the next 24 hours.
  • Automatic renewals add one month and are paid from your wallet balance. Saved cards are not charged automatically.
  • The renewal price is calculated when the renewal runs, and you get an invoice for it.
  • The new period is added to the current expiry date, so renewing early never shortens your rental.

If your wallet balance is too low

The renewal is skipped and you get a notification in the dashboard. Auto-renew stays on and the renewal is retried on the next hourly run, so topping up before the expiry date is enough. If the order expires without a renewal, its proxies stop working.

Renewing manually

Use Renew on the order to choose the period yourself: ISP and datacenter proxies can be renewed for 1 week to 12 months, mobile proxies for 1 week to 3 months. You see the price before confirming, and it is paid from your wallet.

Turning auto-renew off

Switch auto-renew off on the order if you no longer need the proxies. Orders without auto-renew show an expiring-soon notice in the dashboard a few days before they end, so you can still renew manually.
