To my knowledge none, but there do exist problematic constants that we can't measure consistently. Famously, measurements of the gravitational constant G vary in a pattern that repeats every 5.9 years. There are a few theories about this systematic error but no solid supporting evidence in experiment form.

tl;dr No constants have been proven not-constant but there are some that might be pending further research



This is quite interesting, is there a paper or some source of information related to this?




There was some concern that the rate of radioactive decay was altered based on the Earth-Sun distance, but that's been disproven: http://phys.org/news/2014-10-textbook-knowledge-reconfirmed-...

I wonder if this variation in G is similar.
