Losing Months of Free Indie Subscription since August

With the addition of filters today I thought it might finally be time to use my free Indie subscription. Let's compare to what the page said I had in August:

And now what it shows today:

I lost 2 months without even using Indie?! Was this known anywhere that the free months would just gradually run out without even using them? In the 2 months since the subscription was initially announced there was 0 reason to upgrade.

The free subscription has a sunset date and we are moving closer to the sunset date. The months they are showing you is a variable not a constant.

Basically, the number of free Indie months is:
12 x number of permanent licenses
+ number of months left in 2021 at the time of redeeming free subscriptions

So every month the latter number decreases by 1.

Whether the 12 x licenses part will stay for however long you like, or it has to be claimed until a certain date, I don't know.

I would be my forum username if those "12months x Licenses" free subs time has an expiry date (that are too close). My plan was to keep holding to it until it's absolutely necessary.

Posting it here because there was similar question on Discord


The answer from YYG is:


So yes the only months that are ticking down are the bonus one
