It is held for 30 days giving the owner grace to renew. Then it will likely be auctioned according to the rules of the registrar and ICANN ending about 60 days of expiration.

Your posts have so many factual inaccuracies. What follows is for .com. Other TLDs may have different policies.
.com domains have a maximum grace period of 45 days, with individual grace periods varying depending on each registrar. Registrars who auction off expired (not dropped) domains do so while domains are in the grace period, never during redemption period. If domains are 60 days past expiration, they're already in the redemption period, pending delete or available for new registration.
Domains can be renewed by the registrant anytime during the <45 grace period, usually without a fee, but that depends on the registrar. Domains can be renewed by the registrant anytime during the 30-day redemption period, with a mandatory $100-ish fee. Domains in pending delete can't be renewed by anyone and must drop exactly 6 days later, starting at 2:15pm EST.

But it would be against ICANN rules for it to be available 30 days after expiration.
If you would have tried to purchase it, it would have flagged.

Registrars can have connection problems with the registry database, which is why I provided the authoritative Verisign link above.
At least 36 days must elapse before any expired .com domain becomes available.
[0-44 day grace period] + [30-day redemption period] + [6-day pending delete]
