Genshin maintenance timer

This Genshin maintenance timer tracks HoYoverse's announced server downtime for Genshin Impact, in UK time with UTC alongside. Version 7.2, "Hour of Ruin", is the live version.

When is the next Genshin server maintenance?

Maintenance	Starts	Length (HoYoverse estimate)	Expected end	Compensation
Version 7.3 update (next)	Not announced	Not announced	Not announced	Not announced
Version 7.2 update (last)	Tuesday, 3 November 2026, 22:00 UK time (22:00 UTC)	About 5 hours	Wednesday, 4 November 2026, 03:00 UK time (03:00 UTC)	300 Primogems

The big downtime comes with each new version. HoYoverse announces it in an "Update Maintenance Preview", which gives the start time in UTC+8 and an estimated length. That one start time is the same moment on every server, unlike banner times. For Version 7.2, the notice said maintenance would begin at 2026-11-04 06:00 (UTC+8) and take an estimated 5 hours. In the UK that was Tuesday, 3 November 2026, 22:00 UK time (22:00 UTC): because UTC+8 is ahead, the downtime falls on the UK evening before the date HoYoverse gives.

Is Genshin under maintenance right now?

The box at the top answers that from HoYoverse's announced schedule. It isn't a live server check. HoYoverse posts its maintenance notices on its news page and on @GenshinImpact on X, so if you can't log in and nothing is scheduled here, check there.

When an update is coming, the pattern for the last three versions (7.0, 7.1 and 7.2) has been the same:

• HoYoverse posts the maintenance notice 2 days before the update, with pre-installation opening at the same time.
• Maintenance starts at 06:00 UTC+8: 22:00 UK time the evening before in winter, 23:00 in summer.
• HoYoverse estimates 5 hours each time.
• A new version arrives every 42 days.

When does maintenance end in Genshin?

When HoYoverse's estimate runs out, unless it says otherwise. For a 06:00 UTC+8 start and a 5-hour estimate, that's about 11:00 UTC+8, or 03:00 UK time in winter. HoYoverse calls the length an estimate, so the servers can come back a little earlier or later. Its Version 7.2 notice said compensation goes out by in-game mail within 5 hours after maintenance finishes.

This page's countdown stops at the estimated end and never counts below zero. Once that time passes, the box says so, and we update the page from HoYoverse's next notice.

What compensation does HoYoverse give?

For the Version 7.2 update, HoYoverse gave 300 Primogems. In its Version 7.2 notice, that was 60 Primogems for each hour the servers were down, for travellers at Adventure Rank 5 or above by the start of maintenance, to be claimed before the end of the version. The mail expires after 30 days.

What changes after maintenance?

A new version brings new banners, which open after the update maintenance. Our Genshin Impact banner countdown has which ones are on now and when they end on each server.

How we checked

The maintenance times, estimated lengths and compensation come from HoYoverse's Update Maintenance Preview and Update Details notices on genshin.hoyoverse.com, and its posts on @GenshinImpact on X. The expected start for the next version is our own reading of the 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 notices, not a time HoYoverse has posted, and we replace it with HoYoverse's time as soon as its notice is out. We update this page at every version change. Last updated 7 November 2026.
