As per your code trial you can remove the time.sleep(30) and induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable as follows :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
# lines of code
WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "proceed"))).click()

Note : Configure the WebDriverWait instance with the maximum time limit as per your usecase. The expected_conditions method element_to_be_clickable() will return the WebElement as soon as the element is visible and enabled such that you can click it.
