Quoting from SW:If I choose to receive a flight credit or Transferable Flight Credit™ when canceling a reservation or if I purchased a nonrefundable fare, when will my flight credit or Transferable Flight Credit™ expire?

For tickets purchased on or before May 27, 2025, and not changed/exchanged, flight credit or Transferable Flight Credit™ issued following a cancellation will not expire.

AND

Flight credits and Transferable Flight Credits™ created from tickets purchased or changed on or after May 28, 2025 will have a specified expiration date of one year or less depending on the fare purchased.

So my guess is that if you cancel a ticket (with no other modifications) after May 28 that was bought before May 28, the travel credit should not have an expiry date. Conversely, if you change a ticket after May 28 that was bought before May 28 and the transaction generated a left over residue credit, that credit will have an expiry date and the ticket itself if then subsequently cancelled will generate a travel credit with an expiry date. Clear?
