Similar story, I bought a vodafone 3G USB dongle with 1GB data that "never expires" back when 1GB was a lot, this was for occasional use and emergency use, each time the 1GB ran out you could buy another as a topup which also didn't expire, worked nicely for my needs. Eventually they decided people were eeking out the 1GB over too long a period for their accountants' liking, so they gave a free final 1GB which would expire after 30 (or was it 90?) days, then you could only buy expiring data going forwards ...
