How frequently symbol token changes for equity | any better way of dealing with it?

Hi Everyone,
Wondering if any of you have found way of dealing with instrument_token instead of downloading all symbols (where we hardly use 1% out of the entire list of around 90k symbols) every day. I was trying to work on solution where passing a symbol name will get us the token but not sure how frequently the token changes; i.e. token for SBIN is 779521, but does it remain same or changes every now and then.

At least for equity symbols, my guess is that it should remain as it is unless there's a change in name, for FnO it's ok to have dynamic due to expiry.

Looking forward for your suggestions or any approach you found helpful.

Thanks.
