Reddit 100% know how much traffic is coming in through their API. They can also 100% track how much of your usage in via what method. You don’t need to wait until the last day. They know that you’re using Apollo or RIF. They’ve already calculated that cost and either assume that you’re a sheep that will simply migrate to their app or don’t care about you in specific. Either way they’ve already written you off. No reason to drive any additional traffic to their platform.
I neither use a 3rd party app to read read or see ads when I read reddit, yet hear I am with a lemmy instance spun up on a vps. It my go private (or not) yet , too soon to tell.

I just double checked that I don’t actually have the reddit app installed for some bizarre reason. Just Slide. I didn’t think so, but, yk.
