# How long do rotating residential proxies last?

Normally, our residential proxies rotate automatically, but in case you’d like to stick to the same IP address for a longer period, you can do this by choosing the sticky sessions parameter. By default, this parameter will stick to the same session for 5 minutes, but if you need a longer or shorter duration, the session time must be defined. You can stick to the same IP address for up to 180 minutes.
