What is the actual valid lifetime of the DHCPv6 prefix delegated by your ISP? Is it only 1 hour?
This is for the LAN - br-1 not the WAN.
It's set for 36 hours as it has been. Before the update the leases reflected that. Now they reflect 1 hour. IPv4 leases still reflect the 36 hours. odhcpd for IpV6 is apparently being set from somewhere other than /etc/config/dhcp.
9 months ago had another kind of odhcpd related problem (mentioned in my last comment) - which seemed to got resolved.
Are you using the option below in LAN interface DHCP IPv6?
But the prefix delegation lifetime is still important. You can’t lease an address longer than you have the “right” to own that same prefix. odhcpd looks like it will cap the lease at the prefix lifetime.
If you say so. But it worked as I'm describing before the update. I did not have that checkbox you described before, I have enabled that. It doesn't seem to make any difference. How can I check what the prefix delegation lifetime is? It doesn't seem to be in the GUI.
ifstatus lan
That's just the current ... and if I re-run it obviously goes down. It's not the prefix delegation lifetime setting.

Has the lifetime reset now on the lan? What version did you upgrade from?
No. 23.05.0 to 23.05.4
Currently set at 12 hours and turned that checkbox back off - which basically does:
ra_useleasetime | boolean | | 0 | If set, the configured DHCPv4 leasetime is used both as limit for the preferred and valid lifetime of an IPv6 prefix.
Which doesn't do what it would be expected to do. I had manually set it to 36 hours in the past. Works for ipv4, WAS working for ipv6, but not since the upgrade the other day.
IPv6 Prefix Lifetime 12h Follow IPv4 Lifetime (box unchecked)
config dhcp 'lan' option interface 'lan' option start '100' option limit '150' option leasetime '12h' option dhcpv4 'server' option ra 'server' option dhcpv6 'server' option ra_slaac '0' list ra_flags 'managed-config'
Please post the updated lifetimes of the PD and leases:
ifstatus lan | grep -E "uptime|preferred|valid"
ubus call dhcp ipv6leases | grep -E "preferred|valid"
BTW I just rebooted this router so the uptime will be low.

Thanks. It seems to confirm the notion that the lease duration can be no longer than the prefix lifetime.
Maybe the ISP has shortened the duration recently. Keep an eye on it. Not much changed in odhcpd between 23.05.0 and 23.05.4, except the lease reporting issue in LuCI mentioned in the previous issue.
Thanks. I'm gonna keep this open for a little longer. Because the last time other things other than odhcpd were found. The odds of my ISP suddenly changing to 1 hour prefix lease time seems low. But then again this is the company that can't turn off spanning tree on LAN in the router they provide ... and now took all but 2 of the IPv6 prefixes out of /60 they are supposed to be delegating.
Just completely dropped my iPhone's IPv6 lease ... phone still had IPv6 address. Had to disconnect and reconnect for it to show up again. Both on the UI and in UBUS output. Now both IPv6 clients have the same lease time. I only renewed 1. Tell me something isn't screwy.

So it's true it seems my modem-router has been changed as far as the DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation lifetimes. Either that or ODHCPD has become more strict. Don't know why the ISP would need a renew every hour. I don't think I can see the DSL side ... but imagine it is just passing through what it's DSL/WAN side gets as far as DHCPv6 PD.
/ Calculate T1 / T2 based on non-deprecated addresses / if (prefix_preferred_lt > 0) { if (prefix_preferred_lt < preferred_lt) preferred_lt = prefix_preferred_lt;
if (prefix_valid_lt < valid_lt)
valid_lt = prefix_valid_lt;
}
At least you know now. Sometimes I've seen ISPs shorten lease times if they are preparing for or performing some kind of maintenance or big change. But there are also many stories of ISPs being very stingy with lease times, where the renewals happen every 30 minutes (half of 60 mins).
It's actually being renewed in 30 minutes. I think the DHCPv6 process cuts the total in half and requests renewal. I don't think they are making any big change. I've had the same prefixes forever. But then again they have been in our back yard getting ready to pull FTTH fiber for this street. Maybe I didn't notice this lease time change before I upgraded. But I could have sworn it was 1 day plus all along. Getting AT&T to do anything is like pulling teeth. Probably be impossible to get them to bump this up to 12 hours or more. I would be nice if I could compile a modified odhcpd without that check and manage to install it.
Describe the bug
I just upgraded to OpenWrt 23.05.4 and noticed on the UI - https://192.168.2.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/status/overview that Active DHCPv6 Leases shows less than 1 hour. It seems to be set for 1 hour. The leases are being renewed but not at 36 hours as IPv4 are being done. I don't see any way to configure this. /etc/config/dhcp already has "option leasetime '36h'"

Steps to reproduce
Occured right after upgrade to 23.05.4. Also rebooted to be sure. Check Active DHCPv6 Leases in the UI/Status
Actual behaviour
IPV6 lease time seems to be set at 1 hr. 3600 seconds. No way to change that?
Expected behaviour
IPV6 lease time should be 36 hours - like it is for IPv4
1 day + 12 hours. 129600 seconds.
