This is documented and expected behavior. Seems that it's considered an expected behavior to consider optimistically the server as UP when leaving MAINT mode, even if the L4 health checks are not completed yet. I consider that a quite annoying feature, but maybe I'm approaching at this in a wrong way. Waiting for others to comment such issue to better understand. Thanks, Matteo
