You keep mentioning this, but you're incorrect. Even if the ISP flash-renumbers, hosts will not lower the lifetime of their IP addresses below 2 hours, per RFC 4862.

Where in RFC4862 is this described?

A lot of time was spent on RF7084 and its predecessor, making sure it was a requirement to send RAs with zero-lifetime for the on-link prefix if the delegated prefix went away, so hosts would stop using it very quickly.

So my expectation if the ISP flash-renumbered (ie reset the PPPoE session, the physical uplink went down or the DHCPv6-PD lease expired), an RFC7084 compatible router would send out RAs with zero-lifetime and hosts would immediately stop using these IPs for new connections. Am I wrong, and where can I read up on the behaviour you're describing?
