Three months seems like a rather short time. Twitter gave me 5 years of never having sent a single tweet before telling me they were closing my account.

Yeah sorry, not 3 months. I checked the dates again, the last post was on November 10 and I lost the username in August, so 9-10 months and around the same time as Durov's announcement about 70% of telegram usernames being inactive.
