I do what AmazingRando24 mentioned to “lock” posters if I’m being particular about it (sometimes I don’t really worry about it for some movies) and it works pretty well. Lots of folks seeing changes recently due to the [default poster provider changing at Plex](https://forums.plex.tv/t/new-artwork-provider/867786/1) but so far, after going through and updating the ones that changed from that it’s stayed on the one I picked through multiple refreshes.

When I want a default poster to stick, I’ll pick something else then go back to the default one. I don’t know if that’s all necessary really but it’s what I do (just going to the edit screen with the poster might be enough).

The way a poster can be dropped is if the source pulls it - like if TMDB gets a report on it.

If you really really don’t want posters to change you’ll have to use your own. I’ve never had one I uploaded myself change on me.

Using PlexDash on your phone can make it easy to update\fix artwork if you don’t want to get into the web interface. I do this if I notice a wrong poster\background while browsing via TV. [https://www.plex.tv/plex-labs/](https://www.plex.tv/plex-labs/)
