Charged high redemption fee for renewal of domain

So my domain expired and I tried to renew it with Bluehost, only to find it had been deleted from my account.

They are claiming it needs to be renewed from the backend which would come with a much larger $80 redemption fee, compared to the $10 regular domain price.

For context, the domain expired 11 days ago, it was under 7 days when I started speaking with their customer service.

I have been passed between a few agents and even had the case prematurely closed due to an error on their side- which was very frustrating.

I saw on their website that they offer an auto-renew grace period (AGP) so I wanted to check if I can argue my case and hopefully avoid the redemption fee.

If I have to pay it then so be it but I wanted to take some advice first. Thanks y’all
