<div><span style="color: #000000;">On Sunday January 22nd 2022 between 10:00 and 15:00 UTC/GMT the API database servers will be unavailable due to maintenance. You can see this in your local time zone at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=OpenStreetMap+API+Maintenance&iso=20230122T10&p1=%3A&ah=6">https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=OpenStreetMap+API+Maintenance&iso=20230122T10&p1=%3A&ah=6</a></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">We are planning to upgrade the software which runs the main OpenStreetMap database. Unfortunately, we cannot do this without some downtime.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">The following services WILL be affected:</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #0451a5;">-</span><span style="color: #000000;"> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org">www.openstreetmap.org</a> web site WILL NOT allow edits,</span></div><div><span style="color: #0451a5;">-</span><span style="color: #000000;"> API will NOT allow map editing (using iD, JOSM, etc), and</span></div><div><span style="color: #0451a5;">-</span><span style="color: #000000;"> replication updates will be paused (minutely updates and changeset replication).</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">We expect that the database upgrade will not take the full duration, and we will try as far as possible to keep the API available in read-only mode, but the API may be briefly unavailable.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">At times you may be unable to login to services which requires openstreetmap.org authentication (e.g. community, forum, and help)</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Other OpenStreetMap provided services should not be affected except for login - all of the following are expected to function normally:</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #0451a5;">-</span><span style="color: #000000;"> Map viewing on <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org">www.openstreetmap.org</a></span></div><div><span style="color: #0451a5;">-</span><span style="color: #000000;"> nominatim (search)</span></div><div><span style="color: #0451a5;">-</span><span style="color: #000000;"> standard tile layer</span></div><div><span style="color: #0451a5;">-</span><span style="color: #000000;"> wiki</span></div><div><span style="color: #0451a5;">-</span><span style="color: #000000;"> taginfo</span></div><div><span style="color: #0451a5;">-</span><span style="color: #000000;"> mailing lists</span></div><div><span style="color: #0451a5;">-</span><span style="color: #000000;"> Distribution of planet file and existing diffs</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Services not run by the OSMF will not be impacted, except there will be no updates from OSM.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Technical details are at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/548">https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/548</a></span></div></div>
