The LG made Nexus 5X and Huawei made Nexus 6P were promised monthly security update till September 2018. However, Google is now extending the period by two months, and the devices will receive security update till November 2018. After the said period there is not guaranteed security update from Google.

Usually Google devices gets Android version update for two years and security update for three years, from when they first became available on Google Play Store. The reason behind the extension is not known, and only the Nexus 6P and 5X has received the extension.
