Sometimes, sometimes.
Most ISPs give you a new prefix occasionally, such as every night. They don't need to, but so many do it anyway that a tracker cannot assume that 2001:a61:2574:a00/64 is the same customer as yesterday. It may be the same, usually isn't, so tracking is very imprecise.

An ISP could give you one static prefix for incoming connections and then an additional dynamic prefix which rotates between customers every 24 hours (leaving old prefixes actives for a week in case you have long-living connections).
