You must have been among those who got unlucky with ICANN's upgrades.

"..apparently goes off without a glitch". Apparently, not.

That really sucks, maybe now is a good time to look into infrastructure as code?

I believe Terraform has a provider for namecheap, so that if this ever happens again, you're able to restore within minutes
