Since day #1, ElfHosted has run a 1-hour maintenance window from 10pm-11pm, NZDT, during which we suppress your health alarms, apply outstanding updates, and perform any necessary disruptive maintenance.

After the recent few high-intensity maintenance sessions, each of which caused some expected minor disruptions, it's been suggested that it may be safer / more sustainable to shift the maintenance window by 12h, so that it'll occur 10am-11am NZDT.

Although (massive Cephless migrations aside), it's rare for things to break post-maintenance, this would allow much more time for both users and ElfVengers/Penguins to detect and fix the occasional issue.

So, we're going to try it out and see how it goes. The next maintenance rollout will happen 12h later than usual.

If you have ideas / feedback in this regard, please jump into #elf-friends and say hi 🙂
