Showing how many days left of subscription from updated_at column

I have a Subscription table that has plan_id and updated_at column. I can't figure out how to show the current user has x amount of days until subscription has ended.

plan_id 1 is a 30 day subscription. plan_id 12 is a 12 month subscription.

Has someone done something similar to this?

Add a 'duration' column to the Plan model and set to appropriate number of days

i.e. 30 or 365

Add an expires_at method to your subscription:

class Subscription ...

  def expires_at
    self.created_at + plan.duration.days
  end

end

Use 'distance_of_time_in_words' to render appropriate text:

distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now, subscription.expires_at)

Here is a link to the helper method:
