Domain reclassified as premium. I need advice.

It definitely looks like Uniregistry reclassified it. This is what I see from Gandi (note "type": "premium"):

JSON:

{ "grid": "C", "currency": "EUR", "taxes": [ { "name": "notax", "type": "service", "rate": 0 } ], "products": [ { "name": "****.help", "status": "unavailable", "process": "transfer", "taxes": [ { "name": "notax", "type": "service", "rate": 0 } ], "prices": [ { "duration_unit": "y", "min_duration": 1, "max_duration": 1, "price_before_taxes": 30.4, "price_after_taxes": 30.4, "type": "premium", "discount": false } ], "periods": [ { "name": "golive", "starts_at": "2014-11-25T16:00:00Z" } ] } ] }

I have a month until it expires. I'll probably wait a few days to see if I get any more replies here. It seems like a slam dunk in terms of being reclassified in violation of section 2.10c, so I wonder if there's any value in a formal complaint process.

Does anyone know if ICANN has ever forced a registry to reclassify a domain back to non-premium? If not, would there be any value in pursuing the issue with the goal of creating some precedent? Is that even possible? Is it a waste of effort?
