Transfer locked for almost half a year

I just transferred a name to GoDaddy and updated the Whois contact information. Since it was a registrar transfer, I of course anticipated a 60-day transfer lock. But now the domain has this status:

Transfer locked until 7/12/2017: Contact information change

That is almost half a year! I am waiting to hear from GoDaddy how this can be, but has anyone else experienced this?

Although I only made one contact update, I fear the new ICAAN rules mean an accumulation of 60-day transfer locks. So the transfer itself would be 60 days locked and then any Whois update made will add another 60 days. I sure hope this is not the case...

America's non-standard dates are so confusing. Is that July or December?

Yes, I am confused by it as well, but I am quite sure it is July.

I've seen the 6-month lock even before the December whois update policy changes.

It usually 'resets' to the normal 60-day lock later.

Okay, thanks. I hope that is the case.
