Yours might but mine ran out years ago.

No public cloud provider is able to provide a dedicated IPv4 address per endpoint, making cloud networking absurdly complex unnecessarily.

Entire continents are under provisioned and will never get more allocation to meet future demand.

Out of interest, why didn’t you re-up when you still could?

You could still get some two years ago.

I personally have a dedicated IP, but the ISP's public reports say that no new customers will be able to obtain a dedicated IPs some time after 2024 or maybe 2025.

The default for all new customers is CG-NAT, unless they're tech-savvy enough to ask for something better.

I do got a /64 IPv6 range however!

Ah, I see the reason for the confusion. I thought you were an ISP, not an end user.
