  Hi there,
  If you don’t want to use your domain anymore, then make sure your primary domain is set to your wordpress address. To do this, follow these steps:
  – Go to https://wordpress.com/domains
  – Select your site
  – Select your wordpress address site and look for the option that says “make primary”

  I flagged this for the staff to help – they can remove the overlay for you

  @fynearts, this is fixed. We don’t automatically renew the domain because most folks intend to keep their domains but just forgot.

  I’ve removed the upgrade for you. Cheers!
