Hello,
This is a Known Issue (TM)
I believe it is caused by the way NSI and OpenSRS set expiration dates.
We calc the expiry right to the second. NSI only does it to the day. So,
there is a fraction of a day that is pushing the registration past 10
years.
For some reason, it fixes itself in a few days, Go figure.
