Nope, 12 months: https://cloud.google.com/free/

In addition, the $300 is only for expenses in excess of the "Always Free" usage limits, which covers quite a bit of stuff, including 5 gigs of cloud storage, 1 micro compute engine instance, and a terabyte of BigQuery queries per month.

Why did it used to be 2 months? When did it change?

It absolutely used to be 2 months, otherwise, my account would still be able to use those 300$ credits. But I just checked, it can't. I still have the expiration email if you want.

I too remember only getting 2 months to use them- I signed up sometime Nov/Dec 2016. Guess they changed it fairly recently.

They changed roughly one month ago. I was still with a little bit of credit left and instead of expiring they told me that was extended

Shouldn't that be "source" rather than "disclaimer"?

People 'disclaim' all sorts of funny things here.

I think it was more of a disclosure...

Yeah, "full disclosure" would have worked fine.
