That is subject to change, however, so it's best to treat it as a true travel-by date.

FFC 'start travel by' date is one year from
date of issue, not date of cancel. So cancelation date is irrelevant. If the ticket was issued on 7/6/23, the start travel by date should be 7/6/24 (or maybe it's 7/5?). But correct, you can 'extend' by using it as a form of payment for a new trip, then canceling that after 24 hours.
