And if you have logged in to the GD interface sometime in the last 3-4 months you would have seen a notification that the domain and/or your means of renewal were/was expiring.
Also, I don't know if they do this with anyone else, but with any of my domains that has a fair bit of traffic or that I've owned for a few years, a rep always calls. (I don't have a special vip account or anything with them)
Something seems off here. Godaddy doesn't need your domain. Something fell through the cracks on your end. Especially on the part of not relying on Godaddy to remind you that your PAYSITE domain is about to expire. Set up a recurring reminder on your smartphone or PC if it's that important.

I agree completely with this. Godaddy send more than enough reminders and if you are not getting them, check the details you have on file with godaddy and then check your spam filters.
If you have a valuable domain and you don't renew it in due time you are asking for trouble. I have domains in 3 accounts over 2 different registrars (including godaddy) and every 15th of the month, I log into each and renew everything that is set to expire the following month, or within 90 days if it is one I really don't want to lose.
If a domain is a paysite you should be even more careful about not letting it expire I would have thought, and if it does and you are lucky enough to not lose it. Pay the fee and learn the lesson.
