Every ISP I've dealt with thus far has kept me on the same dynamic IP for years on end.
Only once did it actually change for me, and it was seemingly random so I assume they must have updated the lease block range.
It kind of makes sense because if some 3 letter agency asks for a historical lookup, they have less data they need to store compared to constantly rotating IPs to everyone.
This is highly dependent on where you are, and your ISP. I get new IPs basically daily. Even my ipv6 prefix changes daily for no reason other than to be annoying I guess. It's infuriating, but somewhat convenient for privacy reasons (only).
Were I live, it updates at least once a month and i think its on purpose. If you want a static IP, you gotta buy the business plan. I do host stuff so instead of spending the extra $200 or so a month for that plan I just use DDNS with my domain and setup a small app that the domain provider gives which periodically checks your public IP and changes it where your DNS settings are hosted.
It was a pain when my friend used to set up Minecraft servers. New month? Well shit time to fix the server again.
