A bit of good news!

Several customers expressed concern about this downtime, so we’ve changed our upgrade strategy in order to minimize impacts:

Key Changes:

  • Reduced downtime: system will only be offline for the first 10 minutes (starting at 09:00 UTC)
  • After the initial 10-minute downtime, services will be available in read-only mode for the remaining 50 minutes
  • Total duration increased from 45 to 60 minutes

Cached queries will still be available during that 10 minute outage, Together, that should mean any user-facing impact is minimal.
