Why did it used to be 2 months? When did it change? It absolutely used to be 2 months, otherwise, my account would still be able to use those 300$ credits. But I just checked, it can't. I still have the expiration email if you want.

I too remember only getting 2 months to use them- I signed up sometime Nov/Dec 2016. Guess they changed it fairly recently.

They changed roughly one month ago. I was still with a little bit of credit left and instead of expiring they told me that was extended

IBM Bluemix[0] has some good trial offerings, you can always contact them and say you're a hobbyist and they may be able to give you a longer trial. Their IoT platform is pretty cool and you have access to Watson. There is also a surprising amount of open source projects they put out[1][2]. Disclosure: I work at IBM in the Cloud Division.

I can confirm about giving you a longer trial. I had an excellent experience getting my trial extended.
