what is sticky session?
a mode that pins you to one exit ip for a set time or until you change a session id, instead of rotating on every request.
you keep the same exit by passing a token in the proxy username, something like user-session-ab12, or by connecting to a dedicated port. the same token returns the same ip until its ttl expires, typically anywhere from a minute to an hour. use it whenever the target keeps state per address: signing in, adding to a cart and checking out, paginating a search that carries a server side cursor, anything holding a csrf token or a session cookie. changing the token moves you to a fresh exit, which is how you separate one identity from the next. treat stickiness as best effort rather than a guarantee. on residential and mobile pools the underlying device can go offline mid session, so code should notice the address changed and recover instead of assuming. myx supports sticky on every bandwidth product, and residential unlimited is sticky only, since it is a dedicated server rather than a pool.
