Elite Dangerous servers undergo a weekly maintenance every Thursday at 7am UTC, temporarily preventing player logins for 30 to 60 minutes. This scheduled downtime allows Frontier Developments to update key galaxy data such as star system and station faction control, commodity and service availability, Powerplay territories, and new community goals. If servers remain offline past 8am UTC, players should report issues to Frontier support. These updates keep the persistent galaxy dynamic and responsive to player actions.
