Recently i had noticed a very weird thing about pending delete domain

Recently i want to acquire a LNL.COM which is in pending delete mode and it’s last date for deletion was yesterday but suddenly that domain gets renewed by one year. As per my knowledge a domain in pending delete cannot be renewed at any cost but still it happens. After expiry date a gTLD domain have three cycles.

  1. Grace Period  ranging from 0-45 days depends upon registrar. Original owner can renew in this period at noextra cost.
  2. Redemption Period of 30 days. Original owner can only renew in this period if he pay greater fees to registrar.
  3. Pending delete 5 days period in which no renewal can take place
