Update We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. If that does happen, there may be times when the site has to be brought down temporarily until this is fully resolved. Please stay tuned for further info. Posted Oct 29, 2026 - 17:41 UTC Identified AO3 maintenance is in progress. We expect it to take at least 12 hours, but it may take longer. We will provide updates as necessary. Posted Oct 29, 2026 - 09:03 UTC Investigating AO3 is down for maintenance. Posted Oct 29, 2026 - 07:13 UTC This incident affects: Archive of Our Own.
