The auto renew grace period, if the TLD you're deleting supports it, is not applied since the auto renew grace period does not apply to explicitly deleted domains. Deleting a domain manually forces the Redemption Grace period, If the domain needs to be renewed after an explicit delete, restore costs will be charged by the managing registry to re-activate the domain.
