Thanks for the report.

13140015 is 2019-09-25 07:36:15.471987, which right now is 152 days ago.

This is the relevant part of the code:

    months = int(days // 30.5)

Which works out like:

>>> 152 / 30.5
4.983606557377049
>>> 152 // 30.5
4.0
>>> int(152 // 30.5)
4

So it's rounding down, to report the number of full months that has elapsed.

I was about to open a similar issue.

So it's rounding down, to report the number of full months that has elpased.

To me this doesn't seem like a very "human" approach.

Say you have two dates:

date_1 = datetime.date(2020, 12, 13)
date_2 = datetime.date(2021, 3, 13)

A human would say that the time difference is 3 months. However, since the exact difference is 90 days, these are rounded down to 2 months.
