What, last night?

haha :D Sorry,English is not my native language! What I meant was: "During the last years until today"

Is this sentence better?

In your first comment, replace “until today” with “since then” and you’re good!

“Until today” is one of those English phrases that is particularly unfair on non-native speakers. You know “until” and you know “today” and so it’s completely natural to combine them in the way you did.

But as ever, English is dumb and annoying and hard work, all at the same time.
