Promises mean nothing. A couple of months ago, I was promised a promotion during the next review cycle. This week, HR announced at an all-hands that there won't be a review cycle or raises at all this year. The anger and disappointment I feel right now are off the charts.

Do what's best for you. If you're trying to keep things smooth, cut the grace period to a month max with a clear ramp-down plan. If you had quit, they wouldn’t have gotten even that.
