No. You do not need to manually request a new proxy endpoint or refresh your credentials every 10 minutes.

The 10-minute duration typically refers to the Sticky Session setting. Here is how it works:

• Automatic Rotation: If you have set a 10-minute session, the system maintains the same IP address for that duration to ensure connection stability.
• Seamless Refresh: Once the interval ends, the system automatically assigns a new IP to your session. Your connection will not "expire" or cut off; the underlying IP simply rotates to a new one from the pool.
• Continuous Operation: The proxy host and your credentials remain valid. You can continue sending requests through the same gateway without any manual intervention.

Key Recommendations

1. For Account Management & Registration

If your task requires maintaining a login state (e.g., social media management or bulk registration), we recommend setting a Sticky Session of 10 to 60 minutes. This prevents the target website from flagging your account for "IP jumping" during a sensitive operation.

2. For High-Volume Web Scraping

If your goal is to scrape as much data as possible and you don't care about session persistence, you can use Pure Rotation (each request gets a new IP) or short sessions. The system handles all the heavy lifting of cycling IPs for you.

3. ScrapingBypass API Optimization

• V2 Interface: Best paired with sessions of 10 minutes or more to maintain stable, long-lived connections for complex browsing tasks.
• V1 Interface: Ideal for fast, stateless requests where you need high-speed rotation.

Conclusion: You can keep your code running indefinitely. ScrapingBypass manages the IP lifecycle and rotation logic automatically based on your dashboard settings.
