I do not think, ips are changed every minute. I assume it is dns load balancing and this fqdn is registered with several ips.
When OPNsense resolves a fqdn, it fetches every assigned ip.

Create your alias outlook.office365.com and check Firewall ‣ Diagnostics ‣ pfTables. Lookup your alias and there you should see all ips for this fqdn.

When using a fully qualified domain name, the name will be resolved periodically (default is each 300 seconds).
