In my experience here in San Francisco with both IPv4 and IPv6 service (and IPv4 service elsewhere in the US years and years ago) Comcast will give you a v4 IP (or v6 subnet) for as long as the same edge device (or an edge device with the same MAC address (or DUID for v6)) continues to renew the lease. So, yeah, it's dynamic in theory, but static in practice.

Weird. Configuring my DHCPv6 server to do Prefix Delegation and request a /60 always worked just fine for me. I was disappointed that I couldn't get a /56 or /48, but was okay with the /60 that they gave me. Again, this was in San Francisco, so maybe other parts of the country are managed _way_ differently. Maybe.
Alternatively, are you _sure_ that the DHCP-PD request was refused and that that you didn't -say- fail to configure your system to actually assign slices of the /60 to your LAN?

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I seem to recall a problem like you're describing.
If I'm not misremembering that I had this sort of problem, then, maybe, try configuring your edge device to ask for a /60, change the DUID that it will use to make the request, and then bounce the WAN interface (or reboot the device, or do whatever is required to apply the changes). My memory is absolute shit (and likes to hallucinate things that never happened), so this might not do anything useful. But it's usually a pretty easy thing to try.
