So, the documentation https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/v3.0.x/raddb/proxy.conf#L365 <https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/v3.0.x/raddb/proxy.conf#L365>  says:

#  The "revive_interval" is used ONLY if the “status_check”
#  entry below is "none".  Otherwise, it will not be used,
#  and should be deleted.

Have you tried that? If no, please try as the docs says.

Which version are you using? Independent of the answer, we encourage you to use the latest 3.2.x as can be seen at https://networkradius.com/packages/
