iNaturalist will be offline for up to 2 hours beginning at 9pm Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7) on Wednesday, September 25 (that’s UTC 04:00 on September 26). Click to see in your local time .
During this time, you will not be able to post observations from the mobile apps or interact with the website or API in any way. The iNatForum will still be active.
The timing will likely be most inconvenient for those in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. We apologize in advance for anyone who is inconvenienced. Please make other plans during that time.
Similar to past scheduled downtimes, this maintenance is required to better manage iNaturalist’s growing dataset but these behind-the-scenes improvements to the database will not be visible.
Now see, you did a great job (as always) providing us ample warning of the date and time of the scheduled downtime - I was very aware it was going to happen Wednesday 9/25 at 9 p.m. Pacific - but, alas, I had forgotten today was 9/25.
Surely this was not user error - can’t be my fault.
