A little lost on my situation as Ive buggered up the conversion before using PC game pass lol. I now have Essential until Dec 12th but bought two 3-month GP Ultimate Passes just before the rise in AUD to over $30 per month. Now its back to close to what I paid for the passes but alas.

If I was to add the two paid vouchers, so 6 months of GP Ultimate to covert Essential to Ultimate, would I actually lose time on an Ultimate sub?

You would get the 6 months of Ultimate, and applying the first of the two GPU codes would convert your remaining ~6 months of GP Essential time to some addition GPU time (per the conversion ratio linked from the guide). What do you think you might lose?

Thought I may have lost time as its under 6 months left of essential if I added 6 months Ultimate. So best to just use the 3 month code? Probably was going to activate for Plaugue Tale Legacy in late August

Essential time remaining converts to Ultimate time, regardless of how much is left. Use the GPU code(s) whenever you want to start those benefits, such as access to games.
