I just spoke with a representative from Godaddy, and I suspect that something suspicious is happening with my domain transfers. The receiving registrar reported an issue during the transfer process, even though I use a different email address for that registrar than my Godaddy account.
 The transfer was blocked by Godaddy, and when I contacted them, they falsely claimed that I needed to renew my domain before transferring it out.

According to their website, it is possible to transfer out until the 18th day after expiration, and redemption day is listed as +19. I attempted to transfer my domains to a different registrar, but the representative claimed that they were in Status 93, which I thought indicated redemption. However, after checking my Godaddy email, I discovered that I simply needed to remove privacy settings from my domains to complete the transfer. Furthermore, I downloaded a new Excel sheet with authorization codes, and resubmitted them one by one, which finally allowed me to transfer my domains without renewing them.

 It appears that an automated system may have triggered this issue while I was transferring my domains, and I suspect that some Godaddy employees are being untruthful about the transfer process to keep customers' money with them. Customers should not trust Godaddy representatives and should try to transfer out within 18 days of domain expiration, keeping in mind time zones.

Some registrars like Namecheap make it difficult to transfer out, which is why I stopped using it. GD still has loyal customers, although I'm not sure why since it is not simple to use. Like others, I use GD to buy closeouts and make transfers in. Your case with your domains going into redemption is a unique situation, and while it caused frustration, other registrars could have presented similar issues.

GD's support provided a solution, and it's acceptable if you ask me. Additionally, GD allows users to download domain lists with authorization codes for bulk transfers, which is an advantage for domainers. Many other registrars don't offer this feature.

GoDaddy has such a high degree of incompetence and foolishness that it would take the entire internet to dоcument them all. Although their marketplace has some advantages, I reluctantly use it and bring items out as soon as possible. When I recently transferred several hundred old domains from there, around 10% had significant issues that took many days and more than ten hours of my time to resolve.

As a result, I've decided not to use them anymore. Although their fast transfer feature can be useful, it only works if they don't encounter any problems with your domain. Given how frequently they have issues, both real and imagined, you might want to try using it while wearing a garlic necklace and crossing your fingers.

I sought assistance to connect my domain and was repeatedly informed by a GoDaddy employee that it was already connected. However, this was not the case, as domains do not connect on their own, and mine was not even registered with GoDaddy.
 Despite requesting technical support to verify the DNS domain and determine the correct name server, the employee lied to me, leaving me waiting for a response. Eventually, I received the name server information but it turned out to be incorrect, requiring me to resolve the issue alone.

When I then attempted to ask for help with configuring WP and installing a theme, I found that the online chat was unavailable for hours, leaving me with unresolved issues. Later, when I asked about optimizing my site, multiple employees responded at once but disconnected without explanation. One suggested installing the WP Smush plugin, which wasn't bad advice, but the page still loaded slowly - in 2.2 seconds.
When I sarcastically asked if this was the best speed GoDaddy could offer, the employee confirmed it was, which was disheartening given that it was so slow.
