Why the "temporary address" in private relay feature for iCloud+ stay the same for long periods of time and why is normal the same address in Mac, iPhone and iPAD?

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities vnunes44,
The following provides an explanation of how private relay functions:
When Private Relay is enabled, your requests are sent through two separate, secure internet relays. Your IP address is visible to your network provider and to the first relay, which is operated by Apple. Your DNS records are encrypted, so neither party can see the address of the website you’re trying to visit. The second relay, which is operated by a third-party content provider, generates a temporary IP address, decrypts the name of the website you requested, and connects you to the site. All of this is done using the latest internet standards to maintain a high-performance browsing experience while protecting your privacy.
You can find this information and guidance on managing the feature, here: About iCloud Private Relay
Cheers!
