Map the workflow first
card bot restocks workflows usually include bot task groups, monitoring jobs, checkout profiles, backup sessions, and local compatibility tests. Treat those as separate jobs instead of pushing every task through one generic proxy list.
- Use one labeled list for monitoring and another for checkout.
- Keep the highest-value checkout sessions sticky.
- Avoid burning your clean checkout list during broad pre-drop checks.
Split monitoring from checkout
The practical split is simple: rotating or lighter residential sessions for broad availability checks, sticky residential sessions for anything that needs continuity through account, cart, queue, or checkout steps.
- Monitoring list: broader, easier to rotate, and easier to replace.
- Checkout list: sticky, labeled, and saved for the real window.
- Backup list: reserved for alternate profiles or retailer-specific retries.
Size data with buffer
A realistic GB estimate should include setup checks, monitoring time, failed requests, and backup sessions. Buying only for one task run can leave you short when the release stretches.
- Use Drop Day for one focused release.
- Use Restock Pack for multiple alerts or backup sessions.
- Use Collector for repeat monitoring across the month.
Test without over-burning
Test format compatibility before the window, then keep the real checkout list clean. A small local test is enough to catch bad formatting without wasting meaningful data.
- Prepare host:port:user:pass lists before release time.
- Test lightly with the same target family you plan to run.
- Keep credentials, target URLs, and exported files under your control.
