@JeromeL Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused with this issue.
As called out in the public documentation from Go Daddy here domains that were expired more than 26days ago those will go to auction. You can still manually renew for the standard price plus the applicable redemption fee.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions on this.
Please accept as "Yes" if the answer is helpful so that it can help others in the community.
