For a recap, please refer to Domain Nightmare.
The domain is about to expire on 02-04, and I have been receiving more emails from GoDaddy. Since I had enabled auto-renewal, I didn't receive any renewal emails. They were all asking me to change my payment method to make the auto-renewal effective.
Your payment method is missing or about to expire.
Do not risk losing your domain and any related websites or email services.
If you have set up a backup payment method, your product may be protected. If you don't have a backup payment method, you can [add a backup payment method immediately].

Clicking on "Update Payment" shows:
Afterwards, I can only choose a new payment method, and in the final step, I can only choose to pay with a Visa credit card.
I was confused at that time because I was able to pay with Alipay last year when renewing.
Continuing to search, under the product directory, since auto-renewal was set up, I couldn't renew directly.
To cancel auto-renewal, I need to go to the official account -> My Renewal -> Cancel Renewal. After canceling, I can renew directly.
