Based on what you said and what I've experienced, it would seem that
each individual subdomain and domain that does not have an A or AAAA
record is deleted after a few days. If all records are deleted as a
result, then and only then is the domain name also deleted. This means
that if I have two NS records for the domain pointing to two CNAME
records, each with an A record, the NS records will be deleted after a
few days while the CNAME records, along with the domain name, will stay
for 30 days.

This is a common setup so I'm surprised this was not catched. It does
not allow me to just put IP directly in NS records either, effectively
making it impossible to use my own nameservers without readding it
every few days.
