I believe
arjen05 is seeing that expiration date because it's one year from the date of purchase, using expiring eCredits. I too have a fully changeable/refundable ticket ex-EU booked in November 2024 (for free changes), but with eCredits expiring in December 2024 and February 2024. If I try to cancel the ticket, I have the choice of refund to original, or a new eCredit with expiration date of November 2025, i.e. corresponding to 1 year from date of ticket purchase. This approach still (for how long?) ends up extending my expiring eCredits by a number of months, even though I currently intend to keep my flights as is.

you probably still have time to try if you wanted to, though your mileage may vary - book in main (not BE of course) for 320 days out or so, not refundable, wait 48 hours so it’s past the free 24 hour cancel
