What Happens During Maintenance?
When maintenance kicks in, servers shut down completely—no exceptions. HoYoverse uses this downtime to implement bug fixes, upload new content, and optimize server performance for the upcoming version. Think of it as New Eridu getting a complete system reboot.
During these five hours, you won’t be able to log in, complete daily commissions, or access any game features. Plan accordingly if you’re close to finishing time-sensitive activities in version 2.2!

Free Compensation: Don’t Miss Out
Here’s the silver lining—HoYoverse compensates players for the inconvenience with 600 Polychrome. That’s nearly four pulls toward your next S-rank agent! The compensation gets delivered directly to your in-game mailbox after maintenance ends.
Important: You must have reached Interknot Level 4 to claim these rewards. If maintenance exceeds the scheduled five hours, HoYoverse typically adds bonus compensation, so keep an eye on your inbox.

Early Access Possibility
HoYoverse occasionally finishes maintenance ahead of schedule. If everything goes smoothly, servers might open earlier than the stated 11:00 AM UTC+8 end time. Follow the official Zenless Zone Zero social media for real-time updates.
Pre-Maintenance Checklist
Before servers go dark, make sure you:
- Complete daily commissions for that Polychrome income
- Claim all pending rewards from your mailbox and events
- Finish Shiyu Defense runs if you’re mid-rotation
- Preload the update to jump in immediately when servers reopen
What’s Coming in 2.3?
Version 2.3 introduces exciting new content including fresh characters, story expansions, limited-time events, and quality-of-life improvements. The wait might feel long, but the rewards make it worthwhile.
Stay updated on all the latest action RPG news and updates to never miss important gaming announcements.
Set your alarms, Proxy—New Eridu returns stronger than ever after this brief downtime. See you on the other side!
FAQs
Q: What should I do if I can’t log in after maintenance ends?
First, ensure you’ve downloaded the latest update—maintenance doesn’t automatically update your game client. Check your app store (iOS/Android) or launcher (PC) for the version 2.3 patch. If the update is installed and you still can’t connect, try restarting your device and checking your internet connection. Server congestion is common immediately after maintenance, so waiting 15-30 minutes often resolves login issues. If problems persist, visit HoYoverse’s official support channels.
Q: Will my progress be saved before maintenance starts?
Yes! The game automatically saves your progress continuously while playing. However, if you’re in the middle of a combat encounter when maintenance begins, that specific run may not count. To be safe, avoid starting new Hollow Zero runs or story missions within 30 minutes of the scheduled maintenance start time. Any completed activities, rewards claimed, and character progression are permanently saved to HoYoverse’s servers.
