That only happens from incompetence or bad IPAM software. It’s easy to assign a static in most management systems. As long as you set up the static in your router correctly, it should just stay.
Comment on finally got static IP from a new ISP

I pray your ISP is more competent than mine!
Sometimes I’ll lose the static IP I pay them for and they say it’s not their fault. Why am I paying you for it, then!?

If I set a static on my side, it’ll work until they fuck up again.
The excuse I got last time was that, due to a power outage where I live, they lost the configs in the splitter box near me. That didn’t fill me with confidence and you’re probably very correct that whatever they’re doing is very dumb and or incompetent.

That’s a good thinker. I imagine their backup of the configs got fucked by whatever caused the issue. IIRC most competent ISPs will have the configs saved in multiple locations,the question is usually if they were updated ever. 😂

I think they just remove CGNAT with some assurance on IP being static over reboot, till it doesn’t.
