"This domain can only be renewed within 28 days from its expiration." error received via API
When a renewal command is sent to a domain using API, sometimes a "This domain can only be renewed within 28 days from its expiration. Please, set auto-renewal or try again within that timeframe" is received.
This is because there are TLDs which does not support a renewal command, that's why we are not renewing the domain, but extending the expiration date.
TLDs that cannot be renewed are:

For these domains, the renewal command will be accepted only during the last 28 days before expiration date. API requests that are submitted before the last 28 days will result in the "This domain can only be renewed within 28 days from its expiration. Please, set auto-renewal or try again within that timeframe" error.
Once the renewal is received, the expiration date will be extended.
As usual, we recommend turning auto-renew to "on" for these TLDs, so you can forget to send a renewal command, as the domain will automatically be renewed at expiration time.
