Pending Delete — the final domain lifecycle status after the redemption window has ended; restoration is no longer possible and the registry is preparing to release the name.
Pending Delete means the restoration window has ended and the registry is completing deletion of the domain object. The domain can no longer be renewed, restored, or transferred; the remaining option is to wait for release if the TLD permits a new registration.
No. In the standard gTLD life cycle, pendingDelete is the final stage after redemptionPeriod, and the restore operation is no longer available.
In many gTLDs the status lasts about five calendar days, but the exact duration and release process are set by the applicable registry.
Only after the registry fully deletes the object and releases the name. The exact time is not guaranteed, and another user or drop-catching service may register a desirable name first.
