It would be handy to have a toggle in the admin settings to be able to keep any DNS zones on automatic termination - this function is currently available when you manually terminate an account, but not available for automatic terminations.
This is handy for clients who have a domain with us / DNS with us but have pointed DNS records elsewhere and do not necessarily want to renew hosting with us, but want to keep the domain with us.

Thank you.

Thanks for submitting this idea.
The reason this option is offered on manual terminations is because an operator is able to make a decision about whether the DNS records should be retained. An automated system could not make such an informed decision, so we'd be looking at a blanket always on/off option. It was felt that making this available as an always-on blanked option might cause more problems than it would solve.
If others feel differently, then we'd love to hear that feedback here on the request.
