So how long does IP Refresh take on Plusnet?
Or is it every time you're router re boots?

@xenomorph As PN IPs are 'sticky', they don't change that often. They are taken from a 'local' pool so the chances are you will end up with the same one even if your router reboots. If you want/need a new one, the best chance is by leaving the router off overnight, but even that doesn't guarantee a new one.

If you are truly seeking a new IP address, kindly consider changing the mac address of your router to a new one, as this action will provide you with a new IP address.

There are many reasons, none of which infer nefarious reasons.

Exactly!
Reason being one website that lets users upload and download android keybox uses throttling using IP and it keeps saying I downloaded enough even though I not downloaded anything same message for few day's.
