  Hello @kitchenvibes

  Since your domain has already expired a few months back, it is likely that it’s either in Redemption Period where you can renew it but it will require an additional $80 redemption fee along with the normal renewal cost. During this phase, domains can be included in expired-domain auctions, where another party can bid on your domain name and if claimed by someone else, you will not be able to renew
  OR
  it has been Released. If your domain is released, it is returned to the pool of available domain names where there’s a possibility that someone might have already bought it.

  More information on this can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

  I’ll add a “modlook” tag to this thread so that the staff can assist you on this further.

  Thanks @raunaqchawhan, you are correct. @kitchenvibes, I’ll send an email with an invoice so you can decide what to do.
