Indeed, routine Phabricator maintenance is scheduled to take place every Wednesday at 0:00 UTC. This maintenance window is not always utilized as we only make changes once or twice each month. When there is a maintenance task, typical downtime is less than 5 minutes. When nothing needs to be done for a given week, I try to at least !log the absence of any maintenance. Realistically though I often forget to do that.
This week the planned work involves a lot of changes so expect a few minutes of downtime while we switch everything over. Then we will take a few more minutes to validate that the new system is working as expected, if not we will roll back to the old one. Optimistically I'd guess that the whole process takes 10 to 15 minutes with downtime closer to 5 minutes.
