How Namecheap domains expire

[dre]

Hello guys, i let my domain expire. It was at namecheap, all the email alerts went to my junk mail, so i didnt know untill today. The domain expired the 21st july, but the 30 days is up now (by ONE day). I thought the period lasted for 40 days? I seen my domain whois has a new expiry date (21st july 2007). I dont understand :td:. Has name cheap re-registered the domain without it dropping fully? Is there any how i can get the name back?

once the name has expired past the expiry date it goes into a limbo state for about 3 months (?) whereby you (the previous owner) can retrieve the name but you will pay up to ~ $200 extra for the privilege.
re '(by ONE day)'....1 day, 1 hour, 1 minute, 1 nanosecond .....is irrelevant...once a deadline is missed that's it you missed the boat.
