Scheduled
Dear Users,
This is a notice regarding the upcoming system maintenance. With this maintenance, our goal is to accelerate the release of system fixes and improvements, ensuring you and your users benefit from a more stable and enhanced product more quickly.
Maintenance Window When: November 7, 2026 Time: 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM ET Downtime: The Paper & Sandbox Broker API environment may be unavailable for 2 hours at the start of the maintenance window with increased latency or small periods of unavailability during the remaining time.
Important Notes
Impact: During the maintenance windows, API connectivity and platform requests may experience brief intermittent errors or elevated latency while traffic is transitioned through upgraded infrastructure components. Once the maintenance is complete, all services will automatically resume normal operation. Please note that maintenance windows are approximate. While we aim to complete work within the scheduled timeframe, maintenance may conclude earlier or occasionally extend if additional work is required to ensure system stability.
Once maintenance is complete (or if no maintenance was required), all services will automatically resume normal operation. Alpaca will issue a "Scheduled Maintenance Complete" status update after the window has passed.
After the Maintenance No action is required from you at this time. All API endpoints, credentials, and integration configurations will remain unchanged.
We are committed to continuous improvement, and this process change will help us deliver stability and enhancements with greater speed.
If you have any questions or require further clarification, please contact our support team at support@alpaca.markets.
Best regards, The Alpaca Team
