Unlimited accounts for catch-all email addresses
I am a premium paying member of proton mail who uses a catch-all email domain.
I use many prefixes such as:
moving@address.com
apartment@address.com
work@address.com
personal@address.com
name@address.com
etc.
In order to send email from these addresses, I must have accounts for them. This is very annoying as I have to repeatedly create and delete these accounts in order to stay under the 15 account limit.
On my own domain, I should have unlimited addresses.
This would very helpful and would solve one of my biggest annoyances with proton.

+Alias is not enough. I get limits on Proton owned domains, that makes sense, but limiting the number of aliases used on my own domains should not be a thing.
I get that there may be technical difficulties with this, regarding encryption. I think the obvious solution is to generate a "catch-all" key that can be used for these addresses that haven't been given an "address" slot (because they aren't used much).

You could use Plus Addressing or +Alias as Proton calls it:
https://proton.me/support/creating-aliases#aliasesThere is no limit in the usage of that.

Agree. It's convenient that I can use anything before @mydomain.com, but then sometimes the vendor expects the return email to come from that same email instead of my default. It is a hassle to have to create the accounts one by one. I don't know the technical requirements or limitations that might make this difficult, but I do think that anything @mydomain.com should be considered ONE account.

Isn't what we really want unlimited "forwarder" addresses (distribution lists, groups, whatever you want to call them) that relay to real (paying) users ?

Proton recently acquired a company called SimpleLogin that provides this very functionality, among others. The only caveat is that you'd need to setup the email on a different domain or subdomain to the one currently using Proton's MX - e.g. <whatever-name-here>@catchall.address.com
