I have over 80 days of read time on another forum, which is over 2 months. But I have seen users with 3 and even 5 months of read time, yet they don’t show as 90 or 150 days.

You’d have to look at the code; it’s open source. There’s probably a shared function that determines the correct length of time to show.

This looks like the responsible snippet

github.com

discourse/discourse/blob/9581d713724457f453061ca85fb0462fa09d1cdb/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/lib/formatter.js#L254-L263

    
      
          case distanceInMinutes >= 2520 && distanceInMinutes <= 129599:
            formatted = t("x_days", {
              count: Math.round((distanceInMinutes - 720.0) / 1440.0),
            });
            break;
          case distanceInMinutes >= 129600 && distanceInMinutes <= 525599:
            formatted = t("x_months", {
              count: Math.round(distanceInMinutes / 43200.0),
            });
            break;

since 81 days is around 116640 minutes, which is less than 129599. Thanks!
