Hi, I know this is the BIND list but I’m thinking folks who deal with
DNS probably may be able to answer this question about whois.
We recently transferred and renewed a domain by 2 years which pushed
its expiration to 01/25/2025. The order confirmation shows that
expiration and looking at the domain at the Registrar’s web site under
our account it shows that expiration as well. However, when running
whois both here and at the Registrar’s site it shows expiration
01/25/2024. It makes me wonder if there is a 10 year limit in whois
since 2024 would be within 10 years but 2025 would be outside of it.
I didn’t see anything in RFC 3912 describing whois that even suggests
a limit for expirations dates.
Not a big deal as I may be dead by then either way – just wondering if
anyone knows of a reason this would occur.
Please don’t suggest I contact the Registrar. I already did and they
seemed as clueless as I am.

"Each registrar has the flexibility to offer initial and renewal
registrations in one-year increments, provided that the maximum
remaining unexpired term shall not exceed ten years."
In reality, they'll probably issue the renewal automagically once you're
under the 9-year mark and the domain is renewal-eligible.
