Elite Dangerous servers undergo a weekly maintenance every Thursday around 7am UTC. This downtime, lasting typically between 30 and 60 minutes, updates persistent galaxy data including star system and station faction control, commodities, services, Powerplay status, and new Community Goals. During this period, commanders cannot log in. If servers remain offline past 8am UTC, players should contact Frontier Support. This routine maintenance ensures the game universe stays dynamic and current for all players.
