## Updates from Polar
### 2026-11-05 05:00 UTC: update
As a follow-up to last week’s maintenance, we’ll be performing the second and final part of our scheduled database maintenance on Thursday, November 5 at 05:00 UTC. This completes our migration to a new database provider. Polar will be completely unavailable for around ten minutes while the work is carried out.
What to expect during the maintenance window:
- \*\*Checkouts\*\*: New checkouts can't be created during maintenance. Customers attempting to check out will need to try again once service is restored.
- \*\*Event ingestion\*\*: Events sent during this window won't be ingested. Please make sure any failed ingestion requests are retried once we're back up.
- \*\*Background processes\*\*: Subscription renewals, dunning, and other scheduled jobs will resume automatically once everything is up and running.

From the builder: does your app depend on Polar? [Sazabi](https://www.sazabi.com/?utm_source=down-guide&utm_medium=markdown&utm_content=polar) detects problems in your own logs without hand-written monitors, and you can ask it in plain language which errors mention Polar.
