6 months from today follows the calendar convention used by banks, leases, and subscriptions: keep the same day of the month and move forward 6 months, landing on Thursday, January 28, 2027. When the starting day doesn't exist in the target month (the 31st of a 30-day month, or February), the date clamps to the month's last day. That makes month arithmetic different from day counting — this particular span covers 184 days, not 180. For exact day counts, use days from today.
