Just found out most baking soda goes stale way faster than I thought

I was looking up why my cookies weren't spreading right and came across this fact from King Arthur's blog. Turns out baking soda starts losing its power after like 3 months in the cabinet. I had a box in there for almost a year. No wonder my last batch came out like hockey pucks. Anyone else check their baking soda age after reading something like that?

Is that like finding out milk has an expiration date the hard way?

Yeah mine was closer to 8 months. Tasted like cardboard.
