So this is weird, I noticed a whois record with the EPP status of "clientRenewProhbited". They typo'd the EPP status code? You'd think that wouldn't even be possible, and that CIRA would enforce specific and limited options to select from. So my question is to you registry/registrar types ( @richard.schreier @FM @bmetal ), is this typo on CIRA's end or on the registrar's end? It seems to be primarily - but not exclusively - GoDaddy/Uniregistry whois records.

I'll also note that its a weird EPP status. Why would a registrar lock a domain name to prevent it from being renewed? I can see maybe if there's some legal thing, but you'd think that would be a serverRenewProhibited status set by CIRA, and not a clientRenewProhibited status set by the Registrar.

Wow, love your attention to detail @rlm . This is not really an often-used status, but the typo in it seems unique too.

I'll refer to @richard.schreier, though for a reply from the CIRA side.
 
That might actually tell the registry to NOT auto-renew the domain (which would fit with the locked/no-updates).

.ca registrars don't have anything to do with .ca whois, so that should be a typo at CIRA .

ok... Just messed with one of my domains, definitely seems to be a typo at CIRA. It's possible they share data with ICANN at a binary level, but seems more likely that ICANN just has some data normalization logic that hides the typo.

@rlm @FM @bmetal yup it's a typo in our system, I will get it fixed, thanks for pointing it out. The "clientRenewProhibited" does not affect "autorenew". This status will only prevent manual or explicit renewals. And note this is a setting that is set by the registrar.
