Subject: [PATCH] Run the paid canary weekly instead of daily

Paid canary paths (proxy, Scraping Browser, captcha) run weekly on Mondays;
free paths keep their daily schedule. A manual dispatch runs everything.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Changed
+
+- CI only: the canary bills the `SLEEPNUMBER_PROXY` exit, so it now runs weekly
+  (Mondays 11:23 UTC) instead of daily; a manual dispatch still runs it.
