How does one change the network tier from premium to standard in Google cloud platform

I am currently running a VM instance which automatically assigned me a premium static ip address in the google cloud platform. My usage requirements are not high and to keep the costs low I would convert the plan into a standard network tier while maintaining the same static IP. Any insights into the same? Thanks.

Basically, you change your IP address to "Ephemeral", and then you can select Standard, then you can reserve a new IP address in the standard tier. Naturally you will then need to update your DNS.

If you change external IP from premium to standard tier you will get another IP (it will basically change). There's no way to keep it in this situation.

You will be able to use load balancing and other features but all external IP's will be regional then.

You can have a look at GCP's standar tier documentation to have a better understainding how it works and it's limitations. It may also be helpful for you to look at service tier's documentation too - it explains how external IP's behave.
