Sure the IP is PII because you are not allowed to publish it as others could relate the IP to the identity.

But as others already said: if you don’t store the IP (eg in logs) it should be fine.



You could store the IPs in logs until the heat death of the universe and it would be fine, as long as you aren't able to translate it to an indentity (or give it to someone who can). The point of my comment is that an IP is only considered PII when possessed by someone who can do the conversion.
