Not in a measurable way. We cant do accurate calculations of orbits too far into the future or past due to the 3 body problem (no analytical solutions to 3 bodies orbiting each other).

There are small changes going on all the time, but we have to talk in terms of what is measurable. Even the calculations they did to confirm general relativity (perihelion of mercury, observed during an eclipse) aren’t perfect. This would be even smaller than the error of those calculations.
