I'm about to lose $4,800 in credits from Digital Ocean. I've been promoting them on my blog for the past 5 years or so

Something that I found weird is that they mentioned on the email I received:

> Please note that since all of your referral credits were issued more than 12 months ago, they will all expire starting next week.

Either the wording is odd or it's just my interpretation, but from what I understood they are implying that all my credits are older than 12 months

But the thing is I have several credits issued this year:

May 06, 2021 April 07, 2021 March 08, 2021 February 02, 2021 January 08, 2021

Or they consume the credits from newer to older.

Yep, about to lose just shy of $1k here, and it stinks of bad business.

Linode and Hetzner it is for us, just as a FU back to their FU.
