## Lifecycle

In calendar days. `—` means the registry does not publish the period.

| Period | Days | What happens |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Add grace | — | Deleting a new registration within this window is refunded. |
| Auto-renew grace | — | After expiry the registry renews automatically; a second renewal in this window is refused with `10020`. |
| Redemption | — | After deletion, `POST /api/v1/domains/restore` still works. |
| Deletion hold | — | After redemption, before the name is released to the public. Nothing can be done. |

## Ready-to-send requests

Each request below is built from this extension's catalogue entry. Replace the domain, the handles and any value in `<angle brackets>`.

### Register
