That occurred during the 2020 census. California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, New York, Michigan and West Virginia lost a vote. Florida, Colorado, Montana, Oregon and North Carolina gained a vote and Texas gained 2 votes.

These changes will go into effect for the 2024 election.
Odds are the next time electoral votes are redistributed is 2030 via the 2030 consensus, effective for the 2032 election.
I believe once per decade is the requirement, but I'm not sure if there is some means to enact it between censuses.
