Yep, that's been my experience with GoDaddy as well.  I transferred my
domains (& client domains) to GoDaddy or DomainSite from NetSol and Register
starting a couple years ago to the present to prevent the excessive fees
NetSol and Register charge.

Just have to wait until they release the domain (each registrar does it
differently; could be up to a year), and re-register it if you don't want
to pay the fee. Of course, you risk losing your domain that way, too.  :(

With Godaddy, if you let it expire and want it back, they say they just
charge you the fee to re-register the domain.. 'course, never actually
wanted one of the ones I let expire back before, so I can't say for sure.
