Current maintenance: Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 02:00 - 07:00 UTC (~5 hours). The game is fully unavailable during the window, and Nexon notes times can shift - the in-game notice and official X account carry the final word.

What this maintenance adds

November 10 patch highlights.

New limited banners

Makoto (Swimsuit) and Satsuki (Swimsuit) debut as limited 3★ students - the marquee pull targets of the anniversary stretch.

100 free pulls

The limited 100-free-pulls campaign runs through the banner period - log in daily during the window so none of them go to waste.

Events & QoL

Work Support Campaign and Shinon's Battle Pass Season 3 start, and Total/Grand Assault get jump-to-rank, retry-on-death and room reset.

Banner changeover

Makoto / Ako (Dress) Unique Pick-Up ends right before maintenance at 01:59 UTC - unspent Recruitment Points convert to Keystone Pieces 1:1.

The usual maintenance pattern

QuestionAnswer
How often?Roughly weekly on the Global server, typically landing on a Tuesday (UTC) alongside the patch/banner rotation.
How long?Scheduled windows usually run several hours - 4 to 6 is normal. The announced end time can slip; treat it as an estimate.
Compensation?Nexon typically sends Pyroxenes to the mailbox after scheduled maintenance - claim them before they expire.
Daily reset?Maintenance often overlaps reset boundaries - finish dailies and spend stamina before the window starts.

How to check status right now

  1. 1
    In-game / launcher notice

    The maintenance notice inside the app is the authoritative source for the current window.

  2. 2
    Official X and forums

    Nexon's official Blue Archive channels post schedule confirmations and extension notices - check these before assuming your install is broken.

  3. 3
    Rule out your side

    Outside a maintenance window, "can't connect" is usually a local or CDN issue - see the download failed fix guide.

Stamina tip: spend AP and collect cafe/mail rewards before maintenance starts - downtime doesn't pause regen, and capped AP is wasted AP.

FAQ

Is Blue Archive down right now?

If it's Tuesday UTC and you can't get in, almost certainly scheduled maintenance. Current window: November 10, 02:00-07:00 UTC. Outside that, check the official channels for extension notices.

How long does Blue Archive maintenance last?

Scheduled windows are typically 4-6 hours. Extensions happen - the official X account posts updated end times when they slip.

Do I lose Recruitment Points during maintenance?

Not lost, but converted: when a banner ends (usually right at maintenance start), unspent Recruitment Points become Keystone Pieces at 1:1 and go to your mailbox.

Where are the maintenance patch notes?

In the in-app notice and on Nexon's official channels. What's coming this patch is summarized in the section above and on the banner list.
