UHIN performs weekly maintenance on our systems on Tuesday evenings between 5pm and midnight mountain time. We will post additional status updates if customer impact is expected due to a specific maintenance.
The "degraded performance" and "under maintenance" states are not considered for uptime calculations. While UHIN does track degraded performance internally (ie. slower than normal system performance) these times are not calculated by the status page.
