When is the 4-hour downtime for free Heroku Postgres databases?

The free tier for Heroku Postgres databases has "up to 4 hours of downtime per month". I think I might have run into that downtime while presenting an app, and I'm trying to avoid problems like that in the future. Is there any way to find out when those 4 hours of downtime will occur? (Or, even better, could I schedule them during the middle of the night?)

Solution

  • Is there any way to find out when those 4 hours of downtime will occur? (Or, even better, could I schedule them during the middle of the night?)

    No:

    • Expected uptime of 99.5% each month.
    • Unannounced maintenance and database upgrades.
