Hello,
My Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server has been stuck in an "Updating" state for over 7 hours following scheduled maintenance.
Resource group: orcana
Region: East US (Availability Zone 1)
Tier: Burstable / Standard_B1ms
PostgreSQL version: 16
High Availability: Disabled
Storage: 32 GiB (14% used)
CPU usage prior to outage: ~17%
Availability state: Unavailable
Reason: Planned
Since: 2026-03-31T09:41:06Z
Message: "The scheduled maintenance for your Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server is taking longer than expected. The server will be available as soon as the maintenance task completes."
No manual operations were initiated.
Maintenance window is set to default (no custom window configured).
Activity logs show no errors—only the ongoing update operation.
This issue is currently blocking all development work.
Expected downtime for planned maintenance is documented as 60–120 seconds, which has been significantly exceeded.
Thank you.
An Azure managed PostgreSQL database service for app development and deployment.
