If you applied for your visa from outside the UK, you can check the full length of your visa in the decision letter or e-mail that you should have received notifying you of the outcome of your visa application.
Your BRP card will have an end date of 31 December 2024. This is because the UKVI is set to move to digital immigration statuses from January 2025. The UKVI guidance on BRP cards confirms that you should not report a BRP card end date of 31 December 2024 as an error.
UKVI has advised that they will provide updated guidance in relation to this early in 2024.
