But if you check the domain's expiration date, it's far away in year 2035.
replyTo the best of my knowledge, a domain can only be renewed in advance for up to 10 years.
(that could be the reason for that status).
(2035 is less than 10 years from now)
reply(Yes, but it expires at 2035-05-20. If you count years by rounding up to integers, there's not enough time room to renew it an additional year. It would make it 11 years.)
replySame for dog years, but why are we inventing ways to make it seem more than 10 years out when registries, quite reasonably, just use the date normally?
replyI think they just flagged all locks in their admin portal.

replyThe status that actually says the domain is suspended is serverHold.
replyCame to say this, ICANN says:
reply“This status code is set by your domain's Registry Operator. Your domain is not activated in the DNS.”
Also the serverDeleteProhibited status is active, which ICANN also admits is a weird and rare one:
“This status code prevents your domain from being deleted. It is an uncommon status that is usually enacted during legal disputes, at your request, or when a redemptionPeriod status is in place.”
