Nope. We reset approaching 18,000' or descending through FL190 (+/-). At FL390 and cleared to descend via a STAR that has 5000' as the bottom altitude? We don't reset the altimeter at FL390. We do it approaching FL180. Occasionally you get told to level off. That is exactly what happened when we were on a STAR descending to 15,000' with lots of deviations about weather. In the mid 20's we were told to maintain FL230. Later we were given a heading due to other aircraft deviating on climb out and descending.
