Ivan, Apologies your question went unanswered. This was a regitry imposed window. NSI has the ability to queue transactions without processing them at the registry, so the registry doesn't necessarily need to be online. They might do some "trickery" to guess domain availability (getting a copy of the latest zone file for example).
In progress is a project which will give the potential for you to "queue" transactions at OpenSRS while a registry (supplier) is offline. It will be up to you for the trickery of availability, but at least you'll be able to take order. Timelines on this project to come.
