Probably the best "Solution" is to just move to another registrar.
As someone with dozens of domains, unaffiliated, I can recommend:
- PorkBun: No-bullshit UI, no absurd first-year promotions to trick you with a higher renewal fee, and support for DNSSEC and Glue records. Domain transfer auth codes are shown in the UI, not emailed to you. Free URL redirects with HTTPS.
- SpaceShip: From Namecheap, but with none of Namecheap stuf. Slow UI, modern UI, easier for bigger portfolios. DNSSEC and Glue records.
No matter the registrar, I recommend not to use their (free or otherwise) Authorative DNS service, URL redirects, email hosting, etc.
Unlike what it may look like, DNS hosting, emails, etc. are value-adds registrars provide. The only things you need registrars are to buy/renew the domains, set nameservers (and optionally Glue records), update DNSSEC records, and update WHOIS.
