NYC3 Network Maintenance

May 28, 00:00 UTC
Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed.

May 27, 22:00 UTC
In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.

May 24, 22:23 UTC
Scheduled - Start: 2025-05-27 22:00 UTC
End: 2025-05-28 00:00 UTC

During the above window, our Networking team will be making changes to the core networking infrastructure to improve performance and scalability in the NYC3 region.

Expected impact:

During the maintenance window, users may experience delays or failures with event processing for a brief duration on Droplets and Droplet-based services, including Droplets, Managed Kubernetes, Load Balancers, Container Registry, and App Platform. Additionally, regular requests via the Public API, as well as viewing and submitting requests through the Cloud Control Panel, may time out or fail for up to 5 minutes. We will endeavor to keep this to a minimum for the duration of the change.

If you have any questions related to this issue, please send us a ticket from your cloud support page. https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/createticket
