Update ALB with changes in EC2 ip address

Question

I want to have my EC2 instances use same IP even after start/stop. I cannot assign an Elastic IP because I have reached my limit (Not looking for "Request for Elastic IP increase" solution).

Is there any work around to make EC2 use the same IP address after start/stop? (OR) Is there any work around to make EC2 update their new IP address to all the load balancers (ALB & NLB) dynamically?

You will need to request a limit increase through the link on the bottom of the contact us page: https://aws.amazon.com/contact-us/

EIP is different for VPC and nonVPC

VPC Limit increase page: https://aws.amazon.com/contact-us/vpc-request/

nonVPC EIP limit increase: https://aws.amazon.com/contact-us/eip_limit_request/
