1&1 pending delete how long?

[south]

Been watching one that expired in late November at 1&1, in pending delete forever. Anyone know how long they take to drop?

Assuming it entered redemption on 30 January I would expect it to drop tomorrow.
Check the domain at snapnames for example.

Thanks Kate! 2 months + though?

Don't want it bad enough to pay for a backorder. Will see what happens.

Edit: snap doesn;t show it, but pool does. You are good. Deletes tomorrow.

Up to 45 days of grace period (post-expiry)
then 30 days redemption
finally 5 days pending-delete

Over two months is the norm until the domain actually gets deleted.
