news Hosting platform Epik can’t pay any of its users right now

[accurate]

On 21 June 2023, Epik cured the notice of breach. The registrar paid all outstanding ICANN fees and, with respect to the unresolved complaints, Epik:

• Acknowledged and explained its failure to timely process various registrant requests, including to renew their generic top-level domain (gTLD) name registrations.
• Described the specific remedial measures it has taken to address these failures and to ensure that they would not reoccur in its provision of registrar services.
• Described the actions it has taken to assist registrants and confirmed that it has resolved all remaining issues with respect to the gTLD domain names impacted by its failures noted above.
• As confirmed by ICANN, renewed or allowed registrants to transfer all gTLD domain names that were the subject of complaints and for which evidence of payment had been received.

ICANN acknowledged the remedial measures and noted that should any of these issues reoccur, it will take expedited action to enforce Epik's contractual obligations.

Seems like it's reoccurring. Not only that but in a worse way. I have an expired domain, no way to get the Auth code, no support.

Awaiting ICANN's response.

Did you honestly think a (non-profit) organization focused on making as much "profit" to distribute how they see fit was going to cut off a paying customer? For as long as they pay, they will get to play. ICANN is all about that money, which was painfully obvious to me after ngTLDs were greenlighted.
