When a domain is deleted outside of a normal graceperiod... i.e. if it's not
5 days from creation, nor after expiry (45 day max), nor within 5 days of a
renewal/transfer (where applicable).
So, under "normal" circumstances (the other 360-ish days in the year), if a
domain is deleted, it's not released for 5 days... typically domains are
only deleted outside of a grace period for compliance/legal reasons - the
registry gives a 5 day buffer for a "OH NO!", so it can be undone.
That 5 day buffer is also being replaced with the 30 day "Restore" window
(Verisign is calling it a "Redemption Period")
