The iPhone was removed on the date that was listed and today it just reappeared. It says it will be removed but the date was last year so I need help getting rid of it again

iPhone 11
If the device is logged in with the same Apple ID as your device, it will automatically reappear in the Find My app. This is because Find My is linked to your Apple ID, which allows Apple to track and manage all devices associated with your account. As long as the device remains signed in with your Apple ID and is connected to the internet, its location and status will be updated in the Find My app.
When you look in Find My, does the message indicate that the phone is "Offline"?
The device was damaged beyond repair in September and then the account was transferred to a new phone. The device was deleted and was removed from the Find My at the end of October- since the phone does not work and is still in my possession there is no way it could have reappeared.
Yes - the phone was damaged and not working when it was deleted last fall - it was removed from the account after the 30days and just reappeared on Find My 2 days ago showing that it will be removed on the date last fall when it was removed. The broken phone is still in my possession so there is no way someone else tried to reactivate it after repair.
That's a really weird one. I can't help. What does Apple Support say?
yea It is - i figured I would try here first. Doesn’t seem like it’s something obvious so I will have to try support next. Thanks!
I’m guessing this is some sort of bug. Same thing just happened to me. Let us know if you figure it out.
