Nit: I would've preferred to make this 89 days...

... and this here exactly 90 days so that our test is a lot more narrow. Same for the subsequent test, where we could've made it 29 and 30 days, respectively. But I don't think that this necessitates a reroll.

Other than that I'm happy with this patch, thanks!
