I didn't see it posted in the forum yet (but feel free to move it if it has).
See:

Award miles will now be valid for 2 years without flight activity. Not a revolution (especially for actual frequent flyers), but overall a positive change I'd say.

I have really used Flying Blue little over the last couple of years and have dropped from Gold to Silver, with Silver expiring at the end of this month. System says my miles will expire 20 months after my last flight, meaning they will expire at the end of November. Shouldn't it be 20 months after my Silver status ends, rather than 20 months after my last flight??

Right. Thanks for that clarification. Obviously with LH Miles & More it kicks in the moment you lose status, because flying activities there do not prolong the life of your miles.
Just had a quick look at my FB account and it now says "Miles that you have earned up to 2 years prior to 2018-03-31, will expire on this date". I'll probably regain elite status at some point, but I've been giving the whole thing a rest and burning miles instead.
