Scheduled Maintenance Banner

About this block

Scheduled Maintenance Banner announces a window the way operators want it announced, exact UTC times bolded, then the impact in one muted sentence that answers the three real questions, what queues, what stays up, how long writes pause. A clock icon instead of alarm styling, maintenance is routine and the design should say so.

The strip uses muted tokens rather than warning colors on purpose, reserving alarm treatments for incidents.

When to use

Reach for this block site wide in the week before a maintenance window, paired with the same notice on the status page. Dismiss behavior is presentational, wire it to a cookie keyed on the window date so it returns for the next one.

A natural flow around it on a Marketing Pro page:

Before

• Nothing, banners sit above the navbar

After

• The rest of the page, unchanged, the banner should not reflow anything

What you can display

One strong use is your next maintenance window with real impact detail. Other notices:

• Degraded notice. A known issue with the workaround in one line.
• Holiday hours. Support coverage changes with dates.
• Deprecation reminder. The API version retiring with its date and guide link.

Tip: writes pause for under a minute is the sentence that stops the support tickets, impact specificity is the whole job of this banner.
