Here's what appears, at least from a footnote, to be GoDaddy's September version of their expiration "grace period".
If you fail to renew your domain name, you agree that Go Daddy may, at its sole discretion, renew your expired domain name on your behalf. If Go Daddy decides to renew your expired domain name on your behalf you will have a Renewal Grace Period during which you may reimburse Go Daddy for the renewal and keep your domain name. The Renewal Grace Period is currently 12 days but subject to change under the terms of Section 2 of this Agreement. If you do not reimburse Go Daddy for the renewal during the Renewal Grace Period your domain name will be placed on Hold and flagged for deletion after which you will have a 30 day redemption period during which you may pay Go Daddy a Redemption fee and redeem your domain name. The Redemption fee is currently $80 USD and is subject to change under the terms of Section 2 of this agreement. If you do not redeem your domain name prior to the end of the 30 day redemption period Go Daddy may, at its sole discretion, delete your domain name or transfer it to another registrant on your behalf.

Just a fact worth observing but not worth flaming about - so please don't (flame).
Anyone else have any shrinking grace periods or other recent changes to registrar Terms of Service to report. (This is not a thread to post gripes. Just the facts, please.)
Anyway, stargate is offering a grace period once more after not being able to afford such before:

Their illustration indicates it's between 1-5 days before deleting it.
