Whenever your DHCP client requests a DHCP lease, it is given a duration
whereby the lease is valid.
As long as you have a DHCP client renewing the lease with the DHCP server,
your IP will remain the same unless revoked or otherwise relinquished or
removed (during a DHCP server update/config change for example).
If your client goes down or is unable to renew before the expire time, the
lease will be reclaimed by the DHCP server and you will be given a new lease
the next time your client requests one.
If they bounce the DHCP server and the leases are not maintained in a
persistent manner, old leases will be lost as well and will change during the
next renewal. Most modern DHCP servers have a persistence store for tracking
these leases, however.
RFC 1541 set the minimum lease time to 1 hour. However, RFC 2131 now
supersedes RFC 1541 and permits the lease time to be less than 1 hour.
RoadRunner's current lease time appears to be 24 hours.

Paying extra for the static IP is a big scam anyway. If you know how it works,
you know *exactly* what I mean (and that's all I'm going to say).
