Scheduled Maintenance: Snap Store Downtime This Weekend

Canonical’s Snap Store is scheduled for maintenance this weekend, which will impact users’ ability to install or update snaps. The outage will begin on Sunday, July 5, 2026, at 22:00 UTC and is expected to last for four hours, concluding on Monday, July 6, at 02:00 UTC.

During this time, users should plan ahead, especially if they rely on specific applications or automated tasks running on IoT or core devices. Below is a breakdown of the maintenance schedule by various time zones:

• Pacific Time (PDT): 15:00 Sun, July 5 – 19:00 Sun, July 5
• Eastern Time (EDT): 18:00 Sun, July 5 – 22:00 Sun, July 5
• Brazil (BRT): 19:00 Sun, July 5 – 23:00 Sun, July 5
• Universal Time (UTC): 22:00 Sun, July 5 – 02:00 Mon, July 6
• United Kingdom (BST): 23:00 Sun, July 5 – 03:00 Mon, July 6
• Central Europe (CEST): 00:00 Mon, July 6 – 04:00 Mon, July 6
• India (IST): 03:30 Mon, July 6 – 07:30 Mon, July 6
• Australia Eastern (AEST): 08:00 Mon, July 6 – 12:00 Mon, July 6
• Australia Western (AWST): 06:00 Mon, July 6 – 10:00 Mon, July 6

The impact will vary depending on time zones, with the outage taking place mostly during late nights or early mornings for most users. However, users in the Americas may experience more significant disruption.

During the maintenance period, any applications relying on the Snap Store – such as scripts, automated tasks, or updates through the App Center – will fail. It’s important to note that this downtime only affects the centralized Snap Store. The usual package repositories and PPAs, as well as the snapd daemon and the installation of .snap packages from other sources, will continue to function.

For users, there is no need for any actions, as services will automatically resume once the maintenance is completed.
