Downtime

Downtime refers to periods when a system, service, or equipment is not operational or available for use. It can occur due to maintenance, technical failures, or unexpected outages. During downtime, users cannot access or rely on the system, which can impact productivity and operations. Organizations often plan for scheduled downtime to perform updates or repairs, aiming to minimize disruptions. Ultimately, downtime is an interruption that temporarily halts normal functioning of technology or services.
