Feels like a scam!

In August I received a USCG certificate of documentation expiration notice. Even though my current certificate was dated through 12/31/2021. Thinking perhaps they were dealing with staffing issues and just getting a jump on things, I sent my payment in in late August. They returned a new certicate that expires 9/30/22. I cantacted them about the error of their ways but was promptly rebuked for sending my payment in early. This was all done through something titled National Documentation Portal. Am I missing something. Seems very odd in the era of computers keeping track of things....
