How long does Canvas retain the same file ID on replacement?

Hi everyone,
I’ve noticed that when I replace a file in Canvas (using the “Replace” option when uploading a file with the same name), sometimes the file’s attachment ID remains the same and sometimes it changes to a new ID, especially for the file created years ago. This causes links in my courses to break.
My question is: Is there an internal time frame that determines how long a file remains “active” for replacement? meaning it still keeps the same ID.
I’d appreciate any advice on keeping file links stable! Thank you.
Thank you!
