Scheduled
Dear Users,
This is a notice regarding the upcoming system 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: Saturday, May 9th, 2026
Time: 7 AM to 9 AM EDT
Downtime: The system may be unavailable for up to 2 hours. However, the downtime is expected to be 30 minutes or less. 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 , Alpaca will issue an "Scheduled Maintenance Complete" status update after the window has passed
Rationale: This maintenance window takes place during the period of lowest global trading activity.
Action Required
Partner Action: No action is required from you at this time. We simply ask that you are aware of this new scheduled window and prepare your internal teams for the possibility of a brief downtime.
Recommendation: Please ensure your internal teams are aware of this scheduled window to account for the possibility of a brief outage that could temporarily affect all services, including deposits and withdrawals.
After the Maintenance
No action is required on your part following the maintenance. 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.
