Why does DigiCert need to schedule maintenance windows?

DigiCert uses scheduled maintenance windows to perform maintenance with the potential to interrupt your DigiCert services.

Maintenance schedule guidelines:

Maintenance is scheduled for the first weekend of each month unless otherwise noted.
Each maintenance window is scheduled for 2 hours.
Although we have redundancies to protect your service, some DigiCert services may be unavailable.
Normal operations will resume once the maintenance is completed.

What can I expect to happen during a scheduled maintenance window?

Although we have redundancies in place to protect your services, some DigiCert services may be unavailable:

Platform and API access
Certificate validation
Certificate issuance
Websites (for example, digicert.com)

Note

Services will be restored as soon as the maintenance is completed.

What can I do?

Plan your certificate-related tasks accordingly:

Schedule high-priority orders, renewals, reissues, and duplicate issues outside the maintenance windows, including Automation events and Discovery scans.
Expect interruptions if you use APIs for immediate certificate issuance and automated tasks.
Subscribe to the DigiCert Status page for live maintenance updates. This subscription includes email alerts for when maintenance begins and when it ends.
